In effort to keep you well informed, we will be reporting the following information daily. We will continue to track these numbers and notify you of the changes as they occur.

• The facility has a total occupancy of 138
• 5 residents in the facility have tested positive for COVID-19
• 0 tests are pending results
• Previously, 62 residents tested positive, all of whom have since recovered
• 0 staff member has tested positive and is observing quarantine

Our mitigation efforts have included creating a separate area dedicated to Covid-19 recovery to best accommodate residents in the facility that require care during this time. As our testing increases, we will be moving residents as required, temporarily, into a designated recovery area and once medically cleared they will be able to return to one of the other units.  Please know that residents that test positive or are suspected of having the virus are being safely quarantined from other
residents. 

We are diligently following infection control guidance from the CDC and state authorities, are being vigilant with PPE usage and we continuously encourage safe social distancing and masking.

Once our staff are screened before starting their shift and also have had baseline testing completed in accordance with Governor Wolfe’s Executive order. As staff test positive or display signs or symptoms they will be placed off work and quarantined in accordance with CDC guidance.

We know how hard it is, especially during this pandemic to not be able to visit and see your loved ones. Any family that would like to arrange for a facetime phone call can either contact the social services department of leave a voice mail at 570-742-2681.

As always, we thank you for your continued support and pray that everyone stays safe and well.

Sincerely,

Milton Nursing and Rehab
