Visits to the care center

040220.PEJ.CareCenter.jpg — Paisley Anderson of Crosby visits Cuyuna Regional Medical Center Care Center resident Velma Rohwer through a window Sunday morning. As COVID-19 continues to spread, area church members decided to visit the nursing home residents from the outside as a means of support and encouragement. Crosby’s Lifespring Church Pastor Eric Anderson and his family and Crosslake’s Providence Church Pastor Ken Carlson were kind enough to go from window to window outside the Care Center caroling hymns for the residents. Many of the residents, who have been in isolation for more than a week, waited at their room windows for the visit and sang along with the group. Submitted Photo
