I hope you had a nice Easter. We celebrated the holiday with Easter-themed activities and an Easter Service on Sunday.

Visitation is going well, and we are pleased with the responsiveness we’ve received since re-introducing indoor visitation. We continue to stress the importance of practicing core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention while visiting with your loved ones. Anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should remain at home and refrain from visiting until symptoms have resolved. Some symptoms of COVID-19 can mimic seasonal allergy symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, sore throat, headache, congestion or runny nose.
