Park Manor continues in outbreak status, which started on 8/2/2022.  Since this time, we have had a total of eight employees and one resident test positive for COVID-19.  We are happy to report we have not had a new COVID-19 case at Park Manor since 8/22/2022.  Once we reach 14 days with no additional positive test results, we will be able to discontinue our outbreak status.

We continue to test all employees routinely who are not up-to-date with recommended COVID vaccinations, any employee or resident exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, or any employee or resident that has been exposed to an individual that has recently tested positive for COVID-19, according to CDC, CMS and Wisconsin Department of Health guidelines.

We will continue with all of the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention including the following:

1. Rapid Covid-19 testing completed immediately upon new resident admission to Park Manor, as well as 5-7 days after the date of admission.
2. Precautionary quarantine of newly admitted residents that are not fully up to date with Covid-19 vaccinations, based on the most recent infection control guidance.
