Hello residents, family, and friends of Evergreen Place Alton,
We would like to share with you our results from this week’s COVID-19 mass testing that was performed on all residents and employees. Unfortunately, this testing resulted in one additional positive case for one of our residents and for one of our employees. Privacy laws prevent us from sharing details with you, for example, names of residents or team members, areas of the building, apartment numbers, etc. Thank you for your understanding as we preserve our residents’ privacy and dignity.
Per the recommendation of the Madison County Health Department, we will conduct additional testing on all residents and employees next Tuesday, November 17, and all employees again on Friday, November 20. We anticipate having results received within 72 hours, however, it could take longer. We will update residents and families when test results are received.
At this time, we continue to follow the direction of the Madison County Health Department. To attempt to control the spread of the virus, it is their continued recommendation for all residents to shelter in place in their apartments.
We will continue to screen temperatures of our residents throughout the day, as well as employees at the start of every shift and mid-shift. Infection control and prevention procedures are common and routine in our community, however, heightened during this time. We ask for your assistance in emphasizing the importance of this measure with your loved one through your calls, virtual visits, and emails. They love hearing from you!
