Good Afternoon Family and Friends:

 

I hope the New Year is treating you all well! We are glad January is over at Homestead. There was a lot of sickness going around in December and January. I sure hope we do not have six more weeks of winter, but from the looks of the past couple of weeks winter still lingers. We cannot wait for the warmer weather so we all can go out and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful things that spring brings.

 

Clinical Updates:

We have been doing our diligence in keeping illnesses out of Homestead. Staff continue to test daily for COVID and continue to wear surgical masks. We continue to ask that if you are sick and do not feel well please stay home and rest. There are many upper respiratory bugs going around. Just a friendly reminder handwashing and drinking plenty of fluids are the key to staying healthy.

 

Activity Updates:

I will be posting the monthly calendars to the Facebook page, for you all have access to them and can see when and what is going on at Homestead! The residents had a wonderful Super Bowl party enjoying pizza, cheese balls, wings and soda. We might not have liked the outcome, but there is always next year! Residents had their Valentine’s Day Party on Friday with fun festivities. There is one thing we all like to do at Homestead is to celebrate!

 

Facility Updates:

We had Gideon’s Electric out the past couple of weeks working on adding more outlets to the resident rooms. All resident rooms have more outlet availability for all of their belongings and more. Power strips are not allowed in the resident’s rooms going forward. This is a safety concern and regulation from the State Fire Marshal. Thank you to all the families and residents for their patience while this project was ongoing.

 

Thank you all for your continued prayers over Homestead! It is a blessing to have wonderful support with in our community!

 

Many Blessings!
