The health of our residents, tenants and team members is our top priority.
We appreciate the trust and support they, their families and the community have placed in St. John’s. We follow strict infection control procedures to help reduce and prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
Outdoor visits
St. John Lutheran Home is facilitating outdoor visits for residents with the ones they love. We must follow the Minnesota Department of Health Outdoor Visitation Guidelines.
Please remember to call our Front Desk at 507-723-3200 during our normal business hours, 8 AM – 4 PM, Monday-Friday to schedule these visits. If you are planning to visit your loved one on the weekend, please schedule those visits before 4 PM on Friday.
Connecting with loved ones
We value the importance of relationships and remaining connected with loved ones. We encourage family and friends to connect with their loved one at St. John’s using FaceTime, Zoom, Duo Google or by telephone. Family and friends can sign-up for a virtual visit by contacting St. John Lutheran Home front desk 507-723-3200.
Restrictions & visitors
The population St John’s serves – older adults and those with underlying medical conditions – are at greater risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a licensed skilled nursing and assisted living facility, we must follow Minnesota Department of Health regulations regarding visitors, infection control and procedures.
All who enter our communities, including staff, are screened for COVID-19 symptoms. People who are sick or do not meet screening guidelines are not allowed to enter.
We deeply appreciate the sacrifices you have made and are making to limit the impact of COVID-19 on our community and your patience as we prepare our setting to host safe visitation and other activities. Our entire team looks forward to seeing you again as families, friends and volunteers are a core fabric of what makes our community so special.
