adminFamily members and guests, our goal is to keep you informed of important information on the Messiah Lifeways at Messiah Village campus. Check this post before your visit to evaluate any potential risks and adjust your plans accordingly.
DECEMBER 17, 2024 HEALTH ALERT: A COVID-19 outbreak investigation is currently taking place in the Hampden/Wagner neighborhood due to recent notification of a new COVID-19 positive resident. There is an increased risk of COVID-19 infection at this time, and visitation in these neighborhoods is strongly discouraged. If you choose to visit at your own risk, please remain in only your loved one’s room for the duration of your visit and wear a mask. If there are no additional COVID-19 cases, the outbreak will end on December 28, 2024.
*Reminder: If your loved one is exposed or tests positive for COVID-19, you will be notified.
Limited Parking on December 18, 2024, for Holiday Drive-Through
*NOTE: The Holiday Drive-Through has been postponed to December 18 due to predicted rainy weather.
Please be aware that Visitor parking will look different on December 18. The Main Parking Lot will be closed. However, the limited spots in the main lot (Purple Lot) and the Orange Lot (Nittany Parking Lot) will be open for visitors. If your loved ones park in the Orange Lot, they can enter through the Bailey Street entrance and take the elevator up to the main floor of Village Center.
During the time of the public event, traffic along the event route will also be more populated than normal. Additionally, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm, residents and visitors will not be able to enter campus through the West Entrance as the one-way lane will be used as an exit for the duration of the event.
Be assured that we have been in close contact with our local emergency services throughout the planning process of this event, and if you should have an emergency, we are prepared to route emergency vehicles on and off campus quickly.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
AccuShield Kiosk Sign-In:
We have received numerous questions regarding why visitors must enter Nursing and EL neighborhoods through the main entrance door in Village Center. This visitor policy is in place to ensure safety, as we’re able to keep track of visitors in the building, as all visitors are expected to sign in and wear a name tag. This is not a COVID-19 requirement, but a requirement that will remain in place regardless of outbreak status. Additionally, any neighborhood in Nursing or EL that is in a COVID-19 or flu outbreak will continue to be posted on a sign at the main entrance to Village Center as well as on the AccuShield kiosk, the Blog, and MVTV so that you can plan your visit accordingly.
**Do Not Visit if you are having any of the following symptoms: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and/or diarrhea. We appreciate your continued efforts to help protect our community. If you have COVID-19 questions, please reach out to our Infection Preventionist, Gina Johnson, at 717-591-7206.
