Lake Stockton Healthcare Facility Crusaider July 2020

The LSHCF CrusAIDEr Lake Stockton Healthcare Facility Serving Lake Stockton and the surrounding area since 1975 COVID Update for CMH Long Term Care Governor Parsons recently announced the plan to “reopen” Missouri has started. While that is welcome news, it is important to note it does not include nursing and assisted living facilities. The federal and state government, through the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), continue to require us to maintain stringent visitor restrictions. The only current “relaxing” of these restrictions from the DHSS is in regard to open window and outdoor visits. CMH and LSHCF are working hard to make changes which will promote these visits in accordance with the specific guidance we have been given. It is our hope to have implemented these visits by the time you read this newsletter. Please follow us on Facebook or at www.citizensmemorial.com for the latest information. While our focus has always been on protecting our residents, we sincerely understand your strong desire to see them. I am proud of the LSHCF team who has done their best to temporarily stand in for you with compassion and love for our residents but I also recognize, residents need their families and friends. Please be aware, nursing homes face harsh citations and penalties for not following DHSS reopening guidelines; so your continued patience is very much appreciated. As the DHSS allows us to “reopen” more, we will do so and try to keep you posted with each step. In the meantime, we will continue to fight hard for your loved ones to keep COVID out and keep LSHCF your first choice in long term care! Sincerely, Chris McBratney, Administrator July 4th Celebration with “The Geezers” The city fireworks begin at dusk on Saturday, July 4, and are visible from our front patio. Entertainment by Joe and Johnny, aka “The Geezers” has been scheduled for 7 p.m. They are local musicians and always put on a professional, fun and nostalgic program. The city’s car show has been invited to use our facility for a turn around that day as well, hoping to make this a full day for our residents.
