Dear Family and Friends,
On 09/22/20, we completed full house testing of all Care Center Residents, Bridgeway Estates Tenants and all Staff. Our top priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy. We are collaborating with our Medical Director and the Minnesota Department of Health and are following all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to ensure we are taking all appropriate steps at this time.
This testing identified one new staff positive and the results allow us to accurately isolate the virus and prevent the spread in our community. We believe this is the best way to protect residents, staff and our community and track the path of the virus. Testing results are shown below. There were no Care Center Residents or Bridgeway Estates Tenants who tested positive. We are still waiting finals results on some staff. We will test all residents and staff on 9/29/20. Bridgeway tenants will not need to be tested.
Tests Positive Tests Negative Tests Pending Total Tested
Care Center Residents 0 47 0 47
BWE Tenants 0 42 0 42
Staff 1 0 107 108
Results from 9/22/20 Entire-site testing
Any staff who test positive will be self-quarantined at home and will not be allowed to return to work until they recover from the virus; 10 days following positive test and 72 hours from last fever without using medication. Our staff are equipped with specific training and PPE to continue to provide safe, quality care, services and support to the residents of our community.
As we’ve shared several times, in early March, we initiated proactive infection control practices, screening procedures and visitor restrictions that will help us manage this situation as effectively as possible and protect the safety and health of all who live and work here. We will continue to update you on any news, emerging issues, or additional changes in our operations via Bright Arrow, email, website, and our Facebook page.
Please follow our Facebook page (@Little Falls Health Services) for all COVID updates and information on what is happening inside our care center. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Madelyn Blaha, Administrator, at 320-632-2061 or by email at mblaha@lfhs.sfhs.org.

Dear Family and Friends,
On 10/20/20, we completed entire-site testing at Little Falls Care Center for residents and Staff. The results are shown in the chart below. We have had 2 additional staff member and 1 resident test positive for COVID-19. We are testing all Bridgeway Estates tenants and staff for COVID-19 on 10/22/20.
Positive Negative Pending Total
CC Residents 1 46 0 47
Staff 2 66 25 93
Results from 10/20/20 Entire-site testing
We have activated our COVID unit. The resident testing positive for COVID-19 has been transferred to our COVID unit. As a reminder, staff that work in our segregated unit will not care for residents outside of the unit or interact with any employees that are providing direct care to residents outside of the unit. All staff in the segregated unit will be equipped with N95 masks, face shields and gowns. Staff will enter and exit the segregated unit from a separate door to prevent exposure to the rest of our care center, residents and employees.
To ensure the health and safety of our residents and staff, we will discontinue meals in the dining room and any small group activities that were scheduled. Unfortunately, we are unable to resume patio visits or open window visits at this time.
Our county positivity rate has increased to over 10%. Following the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines, we are now required to test our care center staff twice weekly. We will be testing again this Friday, October 23rd. The high county positivity rate also restricts us from allowing indoor visitation until further notice.
Looking for ways to help? We have a variety of positions available with flexible scheduling and on the job training. For more information or to apply, visit www.jobswithus.org.

Celebrated our October birthdays yesterday. Residents enjoyed cake and ice cream. :)
We’ve recently had to open our COVID unit. It’s not been easy, but, we persevere. We do this for those who can’t. We do this for those who have entrusted to us, their most sacred possession; their loved one. And not only will we not let them down, we won’t let you down. And as important as that is, equally important is that we won’t let each other down. Now is the time where our teamwork, our commitment, our dedication, and our utter resolve to never give up will shine. Face Everything And Rise. To the kind soul(s) who left these gifts outside our COVID unit, our sincerest of thanks - it means more than words could ever express.
Staff and tenants at Bridgeway Estates would like to wish Patsy Hayes a happy 90th birthday.

Our priority as COVID-19 continues to spread across our state is to keep everyone who lives and works here safe and healthy. We are realistic about the challenges we face in combatting COVID-19 and have appreciated your support during the long months we’ve endured so far.
As you know, we have residents and staff in our community who have tested positive for COVID-19. We tested staff on Friday, October 30th, and received an additional positive staff member from this testing. We are testing all residents and staff at the care center again on Tuesday, November 3rd and all staff on Friday, November 6th. We will continue to routinely test staff at LFCC twice weekly due to our high county positivity rate.
Bridgeway Estates have received all negative results and are now done with quarantine and outbreak testing. Due to the current county positivity rate, we are unable to initiate indoor visiting at this time. Bridgeway Estates has started communal dining during lunch.
The residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 are isolated from the rest of our community and are being cared for as they recover by a designated staff team. The staff who have tested positive are quarantined at home and will not be allowed to return to work until they have recovered from the virus and passed our return-to-work protocols.
We continue to work with the Minnesota Department of Health and are following COVID-19 recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Our top priority is to support and protect our residents and dedicated caregivers. We have equipped our staff team with the training and supplies needed, such as surgical masks, eye protection, gloves and gowns, to provide safe, quality care, services and support to our residents. We have worked with everyone in our community on hand hygiene and safe physical distancing.
Hi everyone,
We have received one new positive test result for a contracted staff member at LFCC from our testing on October 27th. We completed testing off all staff today, and will be testing all residents and staff next Tuesday, Nov 3rd.
Our county positivity rate remains over 10%. Following the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines, we are now required to test our care center staff twice weekly.

We are looking forward to having the COVID-19 vaccine available to our residents and staff. It is a huge step forward in keeping our community safe and healthy! 👍
Check out Mayo Clinic’s FB page for more debunked myths surrounding the vaccine.
https://mayocl.in/2W55T2r
Mayo Clinic
December 9 at 12:00 AM ·
COVID-19 vaccines may become available soon. It's likely you've heard claims about these vaccines on social media or from the people in your life. The rapid development and approval of these vaccines may make you hesitant about safety or effectiveness.
Tonight, we’re kicking off a new myth buster series to set the record straight:
❌ Myth: COVID-19 vaccines are not safe because they were developed and tested quickly.
✅ Fact: Many pharmaceutical companies have invested significant resources into developing COVID-19 vaccines quickly because of the worldwide effects of the pandemic. This emergency situation warranted an emergency response. That does not mean the companies bypassed safety protocols or performed inadequate testing.
Mayo Clinic will recommend the use of those vaccines that it is confident are safe. While there are many COVID-19 vaccine candidates in development, early data are encouraging for the Pfizer vaccine, which likely is to be the first authorized for emergency use by the FDA. This vaccine was created using new technology based on the molecular structure of the virus that allows it to be free from materials of animal origin and synthesized by an efficient, cell-free process without preservatives. This vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTecH has been studied in approximately 43,000 people.
To receive emergency use authorization, biopharmaceutical manufacturers must have followed at least half of the participants in their vaccine trials for at least two months after completing the vaccination series, and the vaccine must be proven safe and effective in that population.
In addition to the safety review by the FDA, the Advisory Committee on Immunization has convened a panel of vaccine safety experts to independently evaluate the safety data from the clinical trial. Mayo Clinic vaccine experts also will review the available data. The safety of COVID-19 vaccine will continue to be closely monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA. Read more: https://mayocl.in/36ZAp49
Looking for ways to brighten our residents holiday season? Stop by the care center and grab a gift tag.🙂 Santa will be bringing gifts around to our residents next week.
Dear Family and Friends,
We continue to test staff twice weekly. Results from testing on 12/8 is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – 2 positive staff. All other staff and residents negative
• Bridgeway Estates – 1 positive tenant. All other staff and tenants negative
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines pending approval by the FDA. We anticipate this will occur before the end of December. We appreciate and support the decision made by the federal government to prioritize long-term care residents and staff in the distributions of the COVID-19 vaccine. Our vaccination process for staff and residents will be based on guidance from MDH as well as official CDC recommendations that have yet to be released and we will share this with you very soon!
The beginning of December brought a surge of cases throughout Minnesota. Please help us protect our staff and residents by wearing a mask and social distancing. We again ask that you refrain from taking your loved one home over the Christmas holiday and schedule video visits with Molly Vanuurden, 320-632-2061 at the care center.
Looking for ways to help? We have a variety of positions available with flexible scheduling and on the job training. For more information or to apply, visit www.jobswithus.org.

We appreciate and support the decision made by the federal government to prioritize long-term care residents and staff in the distributions of the COVID-19 vaccine. We are working with State to ensure that seniors and their caregivers receive an effective vaccination as soon as possible.
Here are some frequently asked questions about the vaccine.
#StopTheSpread
Bridgeway Estates Staff and Tenants would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!! ⛄️🎄 Today the Tenants enjoyed a home cooked meal and hors d'oeuvre prepared by the Bridgeway staff. 😋
Dear Family and Friends,
We continue to test staff twice weekly. Results from testing this week is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – all negative staff and residents
• Bridgeway Estates – all negative staff and residents
We are excited to announce that we are taking actions to distribute the 1st of the two-step COVID-19 vaccine. Staff will reach out to residents and/or family members to get consent in the coming weeks. There will be no cost to our residents or staff for the vaccine. Doses will be administered on site, 21-28 days apart. If a resident or staff person has previously tested positive for COVID-19, it is still recommended they be vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect yourself and everyone around you, particularly those who are at increased risk for severe illness. Wearing masks and social distancing help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough.
Getting the vaccination will not only protect you from being infected; it will help us reduce visitation restrictions in the future.
In the meantime, we urge you to practice social distancing, mask use, and staying home when possible. Please refrain from taking your loved one home for the holiday. If a resident does choose to go to a holiday gathering outside of our care center, the resident will need to quarantine in his or her room for 14-days after returning as a necessary precaution. Staff are also asked to only celebrate with members of their household and to follow all quarantine guidelines after traveling.

The past 2 Monday's have been very insightful for the Leadership Team here at LFHS. On the 7th, our Dietary Manager presented to the group the Simon Sinek video she watched on Millennials in the workplace about what she learned, how it impacted how she views things in her own department and how she will take what she's learned and apply it to how she leads. The "one word" she chose to write on her puzzle piece? Confidence.
This week, it was our Director of Nursing presenting on the video she watched on empathy, what she learned and how she will apply it to how she leads. The "one word" she chose to write on her puzzle piece? Trust.
We are looking forward to having the COVID-19 vaccine available to our residents and staff. It is a huge step forward in keeping our community safe and healthy! 👍

Mayo Clinic
December 9 at 12:00 AM ·
COVID-19 vaccines may become available soon. It's likely you've heard claims about these vaccines on social media or from the people in your life. The rapid development and approval of these vaccines may make you hesitant about safety or effectiveness.
Tonight, we’re kicking off a new myth buster series to set the record straight:
❌ Myth: COVID-19 vaccines are not safe because they were developed and tested quickly.
✅ Fact: Many pharmaceutical companies have invested significant resources into developing COVID-19 vaccines quickly because of the worldwide effects of the pandemic. This emergency situation warranted an emergency response. That does not mean the companies bypassed safety protocols or performed inadequate testing.
Mayo Clinic will recommend the use of those vaccines that it is confident are safe. While there are many COVID-19 vaccine candidates in development, early data are encouraging for the Pfizer vaccine, which likely is to be the first authorized for emergency use by the FDA. This vaccine was created using new technology based on the molecular structure of the virus that allows it to be free from materials of animal origin and synthesized by an efficient, cell-free process without preservatives. This vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTecH has been studied in approximately 43,000 people.
To receive emergency use authorization, biopharmaceutical manufacturers must have followed at least half of the participants in their vaccine trials for at least two months after completing the vaccination series, and the vaccine must be proven safe and effective in that population.
In addition to the safety review by the FDA, the Advisory Committee on Immunization has convened a panel of vaccine safety experts to independently evaluate the safety data from the clinical trial. Mayo Clinic vaccine experts also will review the available data. The safety of COVID-19 vaccine will continue to be closely monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA. Read more: https://mayocl.in/36ZAp49

WOW! How amazing is our community! We cannot wait to bring these gifts to our residents this week.🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄 THANK YOU, to everyone who donated gifts.
Bridgeway Estates Staff and Tenants would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!! ⛄️🎄 Today the Tenants enjoyed a home cooked meal and hors d'oeuvre prepared by the Bridgeway staff. 😋
Dear Family and Friends,
We continue to test staff twice weekly. Results from testing this week is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – all negative staff and residents
• Bridgeway Estates – all negative staff and residents
We are excited to announce that we are taking actions to distribute the 1st of the two-step COVID-19 vaccine. Staff will reach out to residents and/or family members to get consent in the coming weeks. There will be no cost to our residents or staff for the vaccine. Doses will be administered on site, 21-28 days apart. If a resident or staff person has previously tested positive for COVID-19, it is still recommended they be vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect yourself and everyone around you, particularly those who are at increased risk for severe illness. Wearing masks and social distancing help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough.
Getting the vaccination will not only protect you from being infected; it will help us reduce visitation restrictions in the future.
In the meantime, we urge you to practice social distancing, mask use, and staying home when possible. Please refrain from taking your loved one home for the holiday. If a resident does choose to go to a holiday gathering outside of our care center, the resident will need to quarantine in his or her room for 14-days after returning as a necessary precaution. Staff are also asked to only celebrate with members of their household and to follow all quarantine guidelines after traveling.
The news of a vaccine gives us hope. We are so appreciative of the support and cooperation you have given us during the past nine months. Thank you for your commitment to our community. Together, we will move toward a COVID-free future.
Looking for ways to help? We have a variety of positions available with flexible scheduling and on the job training. For more information or to apply, visit www.jobswithus.org.
Thank you again for being partners with us in fighting the COVID-19 virus.

Dear Family and Friends,
We will be transitioning to test staff once weekly. Morrison County has seen a large decrease in cases, and the positivity rate remains below 10%. Results from testing this week is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – One new positive staff
• Bridgeway Estates – All negative tests
We are excited to announce that our care center is scheduled to receive the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and will host 3 clinics for vaccinating our residents and staff! Our first clinic is 1/5/21. The second dose of the vaccine will be administered 4 weeks after the first round and the third will be administered 4 weeks after the second. Protection from vaccine is not immediate; vaccine is a 2-dose series and will take 1 to 2 weeks following the second dose to be considered fully vaccinated. Vaccine efficacy is 94-95%. This data was assessed with two doses being administered. It is very important to get both doses to ensure good protection. Assisted living vaccination dates will be sent out as soon as we receive them.
When someone receives the vaccine they may experience side effects up to three days after vaccination. These side effects include injection site pain, tenderness and swelling of the lymph nodes in the same arm as the injection, swelling (hardness), and redness. General side effects include fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, chills, nausea, and low grade fever.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect yourself and everyone around you, particularly those who are at increased risk for severe illness. Wearing masks and social distancing help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough. Getting the vaccination will not only protect you from being infected; it will help us reduce visitation restrictions in the future.
While the vaccine is a significant factor in our fight against the virus, it is just the beginning to reopening our care centers. We continue to use the county positivity rate to measure the spread of the virus in our local communities and follow the recommendations from MDH and CDC on reopening. Our county positivity rate has decreased significantly, but the care center cannot begin indoor visitation until we have gone 14 days with all negative test results.
Bridgeway Estates will begin indoor visits on Tuesday 1/5. Visits can be scheduled by calling either Krista or Sam at 320-632-2062 or 320-632-2089. Visitors must be able to produce a NEGATIVE Covid-19 test from 2-3 days prior to the initial visit or a positive test within the last 90 days as long as the individual is out of their infectious period.

Good morning from 2 more LFHS Safe Care Heroes! Here is why Ashley Demo and Kevin Kremers are planning to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday:
Ashley- I am getting the COVID-19 vaccine for my family, the residents, and to protect my own health!

Bridgeway Estates Staff and Tenants would like to wish Joann a Happy 88th Birthday 🎂
Dear Family and Friends,
On Friday, January 15th, we had one care center staff member test positive for COVID-19. We will be testing all staff and residents again on 1/19/21. We continue to follow all recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
As a reminder the staff who test positive will be quarantined at home and will not be allowed to return to work until they recover from the virus, are symptom free and pass the employee screening protocols. Our staff are equipped with specific training and personal protective equipment (PPE) to continue to provide safe, quality care, services and support to the residents of our community.
All tenant and staff test results from Bridgeway Estates’ testing on Friday 1/15 were negative. They will test again on Wednesday 1/20.
Due to the recent positive cases at LFCC and BWE, we must continue to refrain from hosting indoor visitation at this time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Madelyn Blaha, Administrator, at 320-632-2061 or by email at mblaha@lfhs.sfhs.org.
ONE DAY until Bridgeway Estates' first vaccination clinic! We are thrilled to have Thrifty White Pharmacy back on our campus to administer the first doses of the vaccine to our tenants and staff 😃
Another step closer to help #StoptheSpreadofCOVID19
Dear Family and Friends,
We continue to test care center staff once a week. Results from testing this week are shown below. Bridgeway Estates will begin testing today 1/15 of all tenants and staff, and continue at least once a week until we have no cases for 14 days. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – All negative staff, all negative residents
• Bridgeway Estates – Testing today 1/15
Please be patient about changes in safety protocols as vaccinations roll out across Minnesota. Even though the vaccine is here, the virus is still being transmitted throughout our state and we need to continue to be cautious to protect the health and well-being of residents and staff.
Until we receive updated guidance from the State, we ask that everyone, even those not connected directly with our care center, continue infection prevention and control practices. Please wear a mask, wash your hands, don’t touch your face when you’re out and stay home if you’re feeling sick. These measures will help keep the positivity rate low and allow our care center to host safe and socially distanced visitation for residents.
Looking for ways to help? We have a variety of positions available with flexible scheduling and on the job training. For more information or to apply, visit www.jobswithus.org.

Dear Staff, Tenants, and Families,
On 1/12/21, we learned that one of our tenants at Bridgeway Estates tested positive for COVID-19. Our top priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy. We are collaborating with the Minnesota Department of Health and are following all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to ensure we are taking all appropriate steps at this time.
We are testing all tenants and staff for COVID-19 on 1/15/21. To ensure the health and safety of our tenants and staff, we will discontinue meals in the dining room and indoor visits. Any exposed or symptomatic tenants will be quarantined in their apartment.
Our vaccination clinic on 1/19 will proceed as scheduled. Any tenants contagious for COVID-19 will be vaccinated at our second clinic in February.
Any staff who test positive will be self-quarantined at home and will not be allowed to return to work until they recover from the virus; 10 days following positive test and 72 hours from last fever without using medication. Our staff are equipped with specific training and PPE to continue to provide safe, quality care, services and support to the residents of our community.
We will continue to update you on any news, emerging issues, or additional changes in our operations via Bright Arrow, email, website, and our Facebook page.

#GetVaccinated #StopTheSpreadOfCOVID19
Dear Family and Friends,
We continue to test staff weekly. Results from testing this week is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – all negative results
• Bridgeway Estates – all negative results
Both BWE and LFCC have re-opened the dining rooms to congregate dining, come out of quarantine, and are re-starting small group activities.
We plan to open for indoor visits on 2/1/21 utilizing our visitation areas. For the safety of our residents and staff we ask that any visitors have a negative COVID test from the week prior to their first visit and at least monthly thereafter. Visitors should bring their negative results to their first visit. Care center visits can be scheduled on Facebook or by contacting Activities Director- Molly Vannurden at 320.632.2069 or by email at mvannurden@lfhs.sfhs.org. Visits at Bridgeway Estates can be scheduled by contacting Sam Tousley, LPN at 320.632.2062 or Krista Bauch, Housing Director at 320.632.2089. Residents and tenants may not participate in indoor visits if they are on transmission-based precautions (quarantine).
MDH Community COVID-19 Testing Sites can be found here:
https://mn.gov/covid19/get-tested/testing-locations/community-testing.jsp
Visits at BWE will take place between 9a and 4p M-F. Visits at the care center will take place between 830a and 6pm with hours varying each day based on staff availability. Schedules are subject to change.
This week, MDH health officials contacted a computerized random selection of Minnesotans aged 65 and up, who signed up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Unfortunately, with only 11,700 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to give away, many on this list will not receive the vaccine this week. If you were not contacted on Wednesday, your name will remain on the list for the next round of vaccine distributions. For staff and residents at our care center our next vaccination date is 2/2/21.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and like previous holidays throughout the COVID Pandemic, must be celebrated cautiously. MDH and CDC have not changed guidance regarding residents leaving our care centers during the pandemic and do require residents to quarantine upon return. With any holiday this year, we have seen an increase of visits requested. Please remember to plan ahead and schedule your virtual visit or, if available, indoor visits, with Molly Vannurden, Activities Director (320.632.2063) as soon as possible.

Did you know there are several buildings within our care center modeled after iconic locations in Little Falls?
Featured below is The Falls Theatre in Little Falls (top) and our version (bottom) 🎭🎥 Our Falls Theatre houses our large conference room. We use this space for meetings, educational sessions, orientation, and a variety of other events. Prior to COVID-19, this space was also utilized by several community groups.
We would like to express our gratitude to the members of Education Minnesota Little Falls (EMLF) for dropping off such a thoughtful gift. Our team will definitely enjoy these goodies!
We are so proud to be a part of the Little Falls community! 😃

Our care center hosted our second vaccination clinic today!
Our next clinic will be March 2nd at the care center and February 16th at Bridgeway Estates 😀
Dear Family and Friends,
We continue to test staff weekly. Results from testing this week is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – all negative results
• Bridgeway Estates – all negative results
Both BWE and LFCC have re-opened the dining rooms to congregate dining, come out of quarantine, and are re-starting small group activities.
We plan to open for indoor visits on 2/1/21 utilizing our visitation areas. For the safety of our residents and staff we ask that any visitors have a negative COVID test from the week prior to their first visit and at least monthly thereafter. Visitors should bring their negative results to their first visit. Care center visits can be scheduled on Facebook or by contacting Activities Director- Molly Vannurden at 320.632.2069 or by email at mvannurden@lfhs.sfhs.org. Visits at Bridgeway Estates can be scheduled by contacting Sam Tousley, LPN at 320.632.2062 or Krista Bauch, Housing Director at 320.632.2089. Residents and tenants may not participate in indoor visits if they are on transmission-based precautions (quarantine).
MDH Community COVID-19 Testing Sites can be found here:
https://mn.gov/covid19/get-tested/testing-locations/community-testing.jsp
Visits at BWE will take place between 9a and 4p M-F. Visits at the care center will take place between 830a and 6pm with hours varying each day based on staff availability. Schedules are subject to change.
This week, MDH health officials contacted a computerized random selection of Minnesotans aged 65 and up, who signed up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Unfortunately, with only 11,700 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to give away, many on this list will not receive the vaccine this week. If you were not contacted on Wednesday, your name will remain on the list for the next round of vaccine distributions. For staff and residents at our care center our next vaccination date is 2/2/21.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and like previous holidays throughout the COVID Pandemic, must be celebrated cautiously. MDH and CDC have not changed guidance regarding residents leaving our care centers during the pandemic and do require residents to quarantine upon return. With any holiday this year, we have seen an increase of visits requested. Please remember to plan ahead and schedule your virtual visit or, if available, indoor visits, with Molly Vannurden, Activities Director (320.632.2063) as soon as possible.
Looking for ways to help? We have a variety of positions available with flexible scheduling and on the job training. For more information or to apply, visit www.jobswithus.org.
Thank you again for being partners with us in fighting the COVID-19 virus. Please follow our Facebook page (@Little Falls Health Services) for all COVID updates and information on what is happening inside our care center. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Madelyn Blaha, Administrator, at 320-632-2061 or by email at mblaha@lfhs.sfhs.org.
Did you know there are several buildings within our care center modeled after iconic locations in Little Falls?
Featured below is The Falls Theatre in Little Falls (top) and our version (bottom) 🎭🎥 Our Falls Theatre houses our large conference room. We use this space for meetings, educational sessions, orientation, and a variety of other events. Prior to COVID-19, this space was also utilized by several community groups.
We would like to express our gratitude to the members of Education Minnesota Little Falls (EMLF) for dropping off such a thoughtful gift. Our team will definitely enjoy these goodies!
We are so proud to be a part of the Little Falls community! 😃
Thank you to the family of one of our former residents for donating these flowers from his funeral.
It was so thoughtful, and it gave us a wonderful opportunity to honor this resident and remember the time we spent with him🌹
We used the flowers to make centerpieces for our dining room.
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching! 💞

This is Ben, another centenarian living at Bridgeway Estates. He received his second immunization against COVID-19 this morning 💉
Ben has lived through many experiences during his 100 years, including fighting in World War 2 (check out his hat 🧢) He said he got the vaccine because he would rather deal with the needle than the disease! Thanks for sharing Ben 😊

Meet Gene! He is giving the camera two big thumbs up after receiving his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine 👍
Gene has been alive for over a century and has developed a lot of wisdom along the way 💯 He chose to receive the vaccine to prevent himself from catching the virus. Gene recommends that everyone be vaccinated to stay healthy and protect their friends and family.

We are having a wonderful time celebrating Valentine’s Day.
Here is our Valentine’s Day king and queen along with other residents and staff enjoying cookies and punch.
Dear Family and Friends,
We are transitioning to testing care center staff bi-weekly. Results from testing this week is shown below. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Little Falls Care Center – all negative results
As of today, the MDH is not recommending any changes to our visitation process. Currently we are offering virtual visits and indoor visits at our designated visiting area.
Since the start of the pandemic, 3,977 residents of Minnesota's long term care facilities have died from COVID-19, accounting for 63% of the deaths from the virus statewide. However, last week, Minnesota recorded an average of just 64 new coronavirus cases per day in long-term care settings; the lowest the state has experienced since September! On Tuesday, MDH released more data showing that overall trends are improving, and not just in senior services communities. The state's positivity rate of testing has fallen to 4%, the lowest rate since June! The rate had peaked at 15.5% in November amid an upsurge in cases.
The drop in new cases is a hopeful sign that the vaccines are starting to provide the protection we need and the infection control protocols put in place are working. Our staff continue to find creative ways to ensure social distancing does not stop social interaction. This week we plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day by having a party, activities, and crowning two Valentine’s Day Royalty.
This week, the Minnesota Association for Geriatrics Inspired Clinicians (MAGIC) launched a new video resource to help providers in our community to address hesitations and misinformation related to the COVID vaccine. MAGIC COVID Vaccination Video was developed to provide accurate and up to date information and dispel myths regarding the vaccine. The goal is to increase vaccination rates, specifically among frontline health care workers, by providing meaningful information from a trusted source that allows them to make an educated decision. Our care centers next vaccine clinic is on March 3, and Bridgeway’s next clinic is February 16th.

Dear Family and Friends,
We are continuing to testing care center staff bi-weekly, and we will be testing tomorrow 2/23. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Currently, vaccines are being distributed to adults 65 and older, educators, school staff, child care workers, health care workers, and residents and staff of long-term care facilities. We have received many calls requesting information about vaccinations. If you qualify in one of the above categories, please check the state’s online vaccine locations map (
Thank you Coborns floral for the donation, our residents sure are enjoying them.

Dear Family and Friends,
We are continuing to testing care center staff bi-weekly. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
We continue to receive questions on how and when family and friends will receive their vaccine. Health officials have created a Vaccine Connector tool found at https://vaccineconnector.mn.gov/. This tool helps Minnesotans find out when, where, and how to get a COVID-19 vaccine. After you fill out a simple form, the Vaccine Connector will alert you when you are eligible to receive a vaccine, connect you to resources to schedule a vaccine appointment, and notify you if there are vaccine opportunities in your area.
It is not necessary to sign up if:
• You have already received your COVID-19 vaccine.
• You previously registered for the COVID-19 Vaccine Pilot Program or the COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program. You’re already on the Vaccine Connector list, and there is no need to re-submit your information.
• You completed the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Child Care survey. You’re already on the Vaccine Connector list, and there is no need to re-submit your information.
• You completed the Health Care Connection Form, you do not need to re-submit your information. The Minnesota Department of Health will work with health systems and local public health agencies to notify you about when and where you can get vaccinated.
We look forward to the day we can throw our doors wide open to the community. Until then, there are multiple ways residents in our setting can interact with one another and with their loved ones. We have resumed socially distanced communal dining and small group activities. We are currently able to offer indoor visits and virtual visits. We do ask that visitors are tested prior to entering our care center.
Free COVID-19 testing is available through the Minnesota Department of Health Test at Home Program- https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/testsites/athome.html

Dear Family and Friends,
We are continuing to testing care center staff bi-weekly, and we will be testing Tuesday, March 9th. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
This Saturday, March 6th, marks one year since Minnesota confirmed its first case of COVID-19. The state has since recorded 485,230 total confirmed or probable cases. Now, more than 52% of Minnesotans 65 and older have received at least one dose of either COVID vaccine. This week, Governor Tim Walz stated Minnesota will expand vaccination eligibility when 70% of that population gets their first dose. Vaccine eligibility would expand to people with high-risk health conditions and targeted essential workers. Younger groups and the general public would follow in the late spring and summer.
Johnson & Johnson has now received an emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its COVID-19 vaccine, the Janssen Ad-Vac. The J&J vaccine is different than its Moderna and Pfizer 2-dose vaccine counterparts in two ways. First, the J&J vaccine is a one-shot vaccine, not a two-dose vaccine. Second, the J&J vaccine uses a more common vaccine technology and does not utilize the mRNA vaccine delivery method. The vaccine is published as 85% effective 28 days post vaccination. Side effects listed for this vaccine are similar to those listed for Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Free COVID-19 testing is available through the Minnesota Department of Health Test at Home Program- https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/testsites/athome.html

Today’s men’s coffee group we focused on reminiscing. We sure had a crowd! 🙂
The Bridgeway Estates team commemorated one year of surviving the COVID-19 pandemic by hosting an all-staff meeting reviewing principles of infection control.
Staff were gifted these pens to recognize the milestone and all of their extra work.
We remember and honor all of those who have contracted or succumbed to this terrible infection.
