Covid-19 (Coronavirus)
Family Fact Sheet
Our
Responsibility to
Your
Loved Ones During Covid-19 (Coronavirus)
St. Anne’s Mead is responsible for
ensuring the health and safety
of your loved ones, our residents. During this critical time, we must enforce the standards required to help each resident attain or maintain their highest level of well-being, thus preventing the entrance of Covid-19 into the building.
Considering the recent spread of COVID-19 throughout Michigan, the United States and much of the world, we are providing additional guidance and restrictions for visitors, including family members
.
What are the Restrictions?
Because of age and other underlying health conditions, our residents are at highest risk for the spread of infectious disease and especially Covid-19. Therefore, we are following the difficult directive to
prohibit all visitors currently.
This includes friends, volunteers and family members
.
We understand how difficult this is especially for family members and we will make every effort to communicate with you! We take these guidelines very seriously.
What Directives are St. Anne’s Mead following?
We are consulting with our medical director, Dr. Gupta on a daily basis for specific guidelines. Our primary sources of information include the
Michigan Department of Health & Humans Services (MDHHS), Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Are there any Virtual Options for Visiting my Loved One?
There is nothing like seeing the smiling faces of loved ones to make one feel good!
Our staff is ready and willing to use residents’ cell phones and/or their own personal cell phones to make regular phone calls and FaceTime phone calls for residents. The number of calls they can make each day is limited, but we will do our best to fit you in! Please call the main phone number to contact staff. Please do not call their personal cell phones. We will have a Zoom video conferencing computer set up later this week.
Are any Visitors Allowed?
Only Healthcare providers and Hospice personnel are allowed into the building including physicians, therapists, nurses, lab technicians, X-ray technicians and EMS.
What if my Loved One is Believed to be near the End of Life?
You will be allowed to visit. Your point of contact for these situations will be Jane Collins, Jon Lechner or Amanda (Murphy) Newport.
What if my Loved One is Lonely or Bored?
Our staff is here, and they follow strict protocols to enter the building. Socialization is a priority, but health and wellness are the top priorities. We will do our very best to keep our residents engaged.
