Our response to COVID-19
In response to the growing public-health crisis of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to share what we are doing to prioritize the health and wellness of the people we serve, our staff, and the community.
We are following the guidelines defined by the Minnesota Department of Health, Hennepin County, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization.
Our activities include:
-
We are refining our emergency response plans and modifying them as needed. We are approaching this as flexibly as possible to ensure maximum protection and support. We believe we all have an obligation to each other to engage in best practices for health and hygiene.
-
The administration staff meets regularly to update our plans, policies, and practices as new information becomes available and to continue learning as much as we can to make informed decisions.
-
We have increased our cleaning protocols using products
-
We are asking employees who are showing symptoms to stay home and get tested, and we also have the equipment to test on-site.
-
We are providing hygiene education to our staff and the people we serve to ensure ongoing compliance
-
In residential care facilities, we are limiting visitors and unnecessary exposures.
-
We will continue to modify our policies and practices as the situation warrants. Please use the following link to address questions you may have about the organization.
