COVID-19 Update: August 1, 2020

Things are humming along! Lots of new hair styles and smiling eyes as a result! Outdoor visits continue to bring joy and liven up the spirits of residents, loved ones and staff!

On July 23, 2020 executive order 2020-156 was signed by Governor Whitmer. The order extends the limited and temporary restrictions on the entry of individuals into residential care facilities and congregate care facilities. We are disappointed that we this must continue but understand the intent to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19. Resident safety is our number one priority!
