Since Thursday, July 20th we have had two additional skilled nursing home residents test positive for Covid, along with five additional employees.

Continue to practice good hand hygiene, and receive your vaccines and boosters when you are eligible. Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Wednesday, July 19, 2023

We continue to update you on the Covid outbreak we are seeing in our skilled nursing facility in Greensburg. We have had nine residents who have tested positive, and six team members. One of those team members has passed the five-day marker and is testing negative. This current “outbreak” will be in effect until at least August 2nd.

At this time this is the only level of care that we have seen positive cases.

As of last evening we had six residents and four team members from the Skilled Nursing Facility in Greensburg test positive for Covid. Masks must be worn during visits in this unit. Please avoid visiting on this unit and then visiting residents in other levels of care. Make sure that you are practicing good hand hygiene, and delay your visits if you are feeling unwell. At this time, visiting in our Skilled Nursing Facility may result in exposure to the Covid virus. Last, consider receiving your vaccinations for Covid and other communicable diseases when you are eligible, to protect yourself and our residents.

Monday, July 17, 2023

Unfortunately, we are seeing cases of Covid-19 increase in the external community, and this is reflected in our workforce. Today, we have had three employees who work in our Skilled Nursing Unit in Greensburg test positive. This instituted our process of “outbreak testing” to ensure there are no additional cases. We must reinstate the requirement for masking for employees and visitors in the Nursing Home. We will notify visitors when this mask requirement is lifted. We encourage you to receive vaccinations that protect you against Flu, Covid, and other communicable diseases when you are eligible. Vaccines protect not just you, but the fragile residents you may come in contact with during your visits. Visiting in the Skilled Nursing Facility may increase exposure to the Covid-19 virus. Visitors are reminded to delay their visits if feeling unwell, practice good hand hygiene, and abide by mask protocols in the building.

At this time, cases are limited to the Greensburg campus. We will update this site as needed with additional cases.
