As of earlier this week, the residents at the Iowa Veteran’s Home are COVID-free. The last three who were positive are now back in their home units. Commandant Timon Ouijuri says three of the 900 residents this week have tested positive, but he adds the staff has done such a wonderful job…and Fareway and JBS have acknowledged that with product and gift cards for the staff.

Oujuri is also excited, as IVH has scheduled 90 family-related visits for residents over the next week or so, slated for window visits and other safe interactions with their family members.
