Latest COVID-19 Update
July 28, 2023
As required by CMS, all nursing homes are required to have a method of monitoring the COVID-19 virus level within the community. As such, on a weekly basis, Dunklau Gardens monitors Dodge County waste water reports that identify current virus levels in waste water within the county. As of today, July 28, Dodge County has transitioned to level HIGH (60-80%). Dunklau Gardens has also identified one staff member who has tested positive. A small group of staff and residents are being closely monitored and tested due to recent exposure.
Because of both situations occurring at the same time, Dunklau Gardens is implementing mandatory masking effective immediately for all staff.
We will return to normal operations once we are through this current situation, and as soon as we can, we will notify all of you.
Thank you in advance for your full understanding of our regulatory requirements and for your compliance with mandatory masking at this time.

We have identified additional COVID positive residents and staff during our outbreak testing today. These additional COVID cases are unfortunate, however, they are not entirely surprising, as we are also seeing an increase in COVID and influenza cases in the community. It is because of these increases that we are modifying our visitation practices and postponing scheduled activities in the upcoming weeks.
To further enhance our safety precautions, effective immediately, the front doors to Dunklau Gardens are locked and we are asking that visitation at this time be postponed if at all possible. Please know, if you chose to come to Dunklau Gardens, you will be asked to be screened prior to entering the building. During office hours, which are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the doorbell may be utilized at the entrance. After business hours, please call the unit phone number of the resident you wish to visit. Those phone numbers are posted at the entrance. Again, you will be asked to screen for COVID prior to being able to enter the building.
We are also postponing our Christmas Party currently scheduled for Dec. 7, 2022. A new date has not yet been set, but we will be providing communication to you as soon as we are able.
While we cannot restrict visitation, we strongly encourage you to defer your family visits or gatherings if you are experiencing signs or symptoms of illness or have been exposed to COVID, influenza or RSV. It is disheartening that the need to make these changes is occurring, and we are as saddened, as you most likely are, that this is unfortunately happening during the holiday season.
The health of our residents and staff remain our utmost concern, and we appreciate your support and understanding in these changes we have to make.

Be assured, we continue to take all necessary precautions to keep our residents and staff safe. To comply with regulatory guidance, we will be testing all residents on the 200 and 300 units as directed by CMS guidelines over the next few days. Outbreak testing for staff will be initiated per regulatory guidance as indicated by the COVID status of the facility during this time.
We also encourage everyone to get his or her vaccination and/or booster as that remains the best possible protection in place. As Covid, Influenza and RSV are currently prevalent in the community, we also continue to encourage you to socially distance, use appropriate masking including wearing your mask while in a resident’s room, and hand hygiene in order to best keep yourselves and your loved ones as safe and free of Covid as possible.
While we can not restrict visitation, we strongly encourage you to defer your family visits or gatherings if you are experiencing signs or symptoms of illness or have been exposed to Covid, Influenza or RSV. If you do choose to visit, we encourage you to be cognizant of the need to be direct and not roam about the facility.
Our appreciation for your support and understanding!
