Perham Living has moved to full visitor restrictions following its announcement last week of confirmed COVID-19 cases within its nursing home.

“Our priority as COVID-19 continues to spread across our community is to keep everyone who lives and works here safe and healthy,” said Tracy Hendrickx, vice-president of long-term care. “We have a responsibility to do what is necessary to minimize the spread of the virus within our building. Limiting those who enter and continuing to follow protective measures are needed to support our residents and staff.” Hendrickx added that compassionate visits at end-of-life will still be allowed.

Perham Living continues to work with the Minnesota Department of Health, Otter Tail County Public Health, and Perham Health, and are following COVID-19 recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

Hendrickx encourages anyone that has questions about visitor restrictions, to please contact her at tracy.hendrickx@perhamhealth.org or 218-347-1307.

Perham Living is a nationally recognized leader in older adult services offering post-acute care, home care, assisted living, adult day services, apartment living, memory care assisted living, and a nursing home community within its campus.
