Dear Resident Families and Friends,

I am writing this letter to say ‘fair well for now’ as today is my last day here as the Administrator of Mullen Home. I have spoken to many of you directly over the phone during the past couple of weeks as to why I am leaving Mullen Home. My reasons are twofold: my husband’s need for health insurance in addition to having recently moved to Longmont. It has been such a joy to work with your loved ones and many of you over the past 9 years! I will miss everyone during these next few months; however, when the pandemic moves out, I do plan to come back and visit as an Association Jeanne Jugan lifetime member!

We have only a few updates for you this week:

• We have NO CASES of COVID-19 here at Mullen Home!
• Residents and staff and the few monitor volunteers will be tested for COVID-19, probably by the end of this week. It is the Rapid Response test, which is now available to us.
• During inclement weather, we are planning to have “outdoor” visits partially indoors by having the Residents sit inside the auditorium while the 2 family/friend members are just outside on the North side of the auditorium facing towards the open window. We will notify of the location change on the day of your scheduled visit, so please come prepared with extra layers of clothing for yourself.
• We hope to move towards Indoor Visitation as soon as we clear the whole house with facility-wide testing. We are still waiting for clarity from the Health Department for the visitor testing that may be required for these visits.

Lastly, Sr. Carolyn, who originally hired me 9 years ago, has returned and we all are excited to have her back! Sr. Carolyn was the Director of Nursing and Administrator here for many years approximately a decade ago. She is going to slide right back in without a hitch!

Thank you all again for your support for the past 9 years (less for some)! It has been such a blessing to have been here and an honor to serve the many beautiful residents!

In God’s love,
Ruthie

Dear Families and Friends,
I commend Ruthie for doing an amazing job here, and I join all of you in wishing her God’s blessings! She’s been showing me the ropes and I feel blest to be called by God to participate in the beautiful mission of St. Jeanne Jugan here at the Mullen Home. I look forward to meeting (or re-encountering) each of you soon!

God bless –
Sr. Carolyn, lsp
