Villa St. Joseph Structured Visitations Begin August 11  

This year has been extremely challenging for all of us – to say the least. With the prayers of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis, our weekly blessings from Bishop Roger, commitment from our staff, and your patience, we continue to fare well as we navigate the COVID-19 landscape.

Now that the Ohio National Guard has conducted COVID-19 testing for Villa St. Joseph staff, we will begin to offer structured visitation for Villa St. Joseph residents and families on Tuesday, August 11, 2020. To schedule a visit, please call us at 216-332-1100 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Representatives can sign up for one (1) visit per week, and a maximum of two (2) visitors will be permitted at one time.

In addition to having staff tested for the coronavirus, we are required to consider the following measures which may alter our visitation plan:

• Case status in the surrounding community
• Case status in the nursing home
• Staffing levels
• Access to adequate testing for residents and staff
• Personal protective equipment supplies
• Local hospital capacity

The decision to move forward with outdoor visitation considered requests from families and residents and the impact on the quality of life that a prolonged loss of connection can have on an individual. The plan was made in consultation with advocates and providers in the aging and development disabilities communities. Guidelines for visitation were jointly developed by the Academy for Senior Health Sciences, Leading Age Ohio, the Ohio Assisted Living Association, the Ohio Health Care Association, and the Ohio Medical Directors Association.

Please remember COVID-19 is still out there and we must remain vigilant to ensure everyone’s safety. In additional to our structured visitation guidelines, you will also find additional information about this respiratory disease attached.

We know this time has been difficult and we thank you for the wonderful job you have done in helping to keep everyone on campus safe, while abiding by the Governor’s Orders. We appreciate the difficulty of not seeing your family, friends, and loved ones and share in your excitement of being able to reunite, even in a limited manner. We ask that you continue to work with us as we diligently keep your health our priority.

Thank you!

What we know about COVID-19

COVID-19, or coronavirus disease 2019, is a respiratory disease. Symptoms, which generally appear 2-to-14 days after exposure, include cough or shortness of breath/difficulty breathing. These symptoms range from mild to severe; however, some people with COVID-19 have no symptoms which is why it is so important to wear a mask.

COVID-19 is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person, between people who are in close contact (within about 6-feet) with one another and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object which has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.

Older adults may show very different signs and symptoms, such as lethargy, disorientation, and general fatigue. Older adults, people with chronic health conditions, and people with compromised immune systems are more likely to become more severely ill, which is why all recommendations should be followed during visitation with your loved one.

What can I do to help prevent the spread of COVID-19

It is vitally important to adhere to policies and procedures. Wear a face mask or face covering, wash your hands with soap and water for 20-seconds frequently, sanitize your hands with hand-sanitizer when washing them is not an option, and remember to social-distance yourself (6-feet apart) when possible.

Keeping COVID-19 Measures In Place

The Village at Marymount took proactive measures at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and implemented the following procedures and protocols to ensure the health and safety of our residents and staff:

• Visitation limitations
• Social distancing
• Increased hand hygiene measures
• Required all staff to have their temperature taken and be screened for respiratory symptoms daily prior to their shift
• Required all residents to have their temperature taken and be screened for respiratory symptoms daily
• Key nursing leadership is consulted 24/7 for any questionable temperatures or respiratory symptoms
• Implemented a policy where residents will receive medications, dine, and receive therapy in their room unless specific care requires otherwise
• Staff members are required to properly wear a mask at all times during their shift

As the COVID-19 landscape continued to change, we stepped up our proactive measures, in an effort to keep EVERYONE safe, to include:

• A designated area on Villa St. Joseph’s first floor for monitoring temperatures, and signs or symptoms of COVID, for 14 days upon admission or readmission.
• At the conclusion of the 14-day monitoring period, residents are moved to units on the second floor of Villa St. Joseph and Clare Hall.
