Per the recommendation of the Peoria County Health Department, we conducted additional testing on all residents and employees on Monday, October 26. We anticipate having results received within 72 hours; however, it could take longer. We will update residents and families when test results are received.

It is an ever-changing healthcare climate as the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread continues in our cities, across the country, and the world. Thank you for your patience, as it is our priority to directly care for your loved ones at Evergreen Senior Living in Chillicothe. We do understand the importance of timely communication and education and intend to give regular updates.

We can share with you that our community has a positive test of COVID-19. Privacy laws prevent us from sharing details with you, for example, names of residents, areas of the building, apartment numbers, etc. Thank you for your understanding as we preserve our residents’ and team members’ privacy and dignity.

We can also share that we are in constant communication with the Peoria County Health Department, following their guidance and ensuring the proper protocols are being followed to minimize the additional risk of exposure to our residents and our team members. We are regularly screening our residents’ temperatures throughout the day and employees at the start of every shift. Infection control and prevention procedures are common and routine in our community, however, heightened during this time. As an added measure to control the virus’s spread, residents have been ‘sheltering in place.’ For our residents, this means staying in their apartment. We ask for your assistance in emphasizing the importance of this measure with your loved one through your calls, virtual visits, and emails. They love hearing from you!

Unless urgent, please use this page, https://www.evergreenslc.com/chillicothe/updates for updates, as I will be focusing on leading our team and residents through this uncharted territory. I realize how startling this communication may be; rest assured, we have never worked harder to protect your loved ones. We love them too.
