From One Neighbor to Another
A big thank you to the neighbors in the cottages that are helping each other. It is very appreciated. -An Anonymous Cottager

COVID-19 Update
As a result of our facility-wide weekly testing, we have been informed that five of our employees tested positive for COVID-19 from the September 23 – September 25 round of testing.  These specific employees are now quarantined at home. All staff and residents will be tested this week to determine if exposure has occurred within the facility. Staff testing will continue on a weekly basis. At this time, the facility has entered into a full quarantine with residents quarantined to their individual rooms.

We continue to follow guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Adams County Health Department. For any questions or concerns, please contact your loved one’s designated social service aide. Thank you for your understanding, prayers, and support during this time.

QCT She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms
She Kills Monsters:Virtual Realms is a dramatic comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games that pays homage to the geek and warrior within us all. The Virtual Realms edition has been adapted by the playwright for the virtual stage.

In this dramatic comedy, varsity cheerleader Agnes dives into her late sister Tilly’s Dungeons and Dragons game to learn more about a sibling she never really understood. Alongside Tilly’s gamer friends, Agnes battles her way through psychotic fairies, shape-shifting slime monsters and wisecracking demons, while juggling her own (equally treacherous) high-school social life.

Additional Mass Times
Catholic Mass is viewable at 7 am, 11 am, 6 pm, and 11 pm on Channel 49. A local mass for shut-ins is also available Sundays at 10:30 am on Channel 8.

Laugh of the Week
Why did the ghost go into the bar?

For the Boos!
