Dear Patients and Families:

I am writing to share news that a contract staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. Although this individual has been vaccinated and exposure to patients and staff is believed to be minimal, patients who are located on Martha’s Ridge have been placed on transmission-based precautions out of an abundance of caution. Visitation will be temporarily suspended for patients of Martha’s Ridge until transmission-based precautions are discontinued. We will be conducting outbreak testing every 3-7 days for patients and staff until the Center is 14 days without a positive test result.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Sincerely,

Colbey Smith, LNHA
Assistant Administrator
