HERE'S WHAT 250 YEARS LOOK LIKE... In June we are celebrating a combined total of 250 YEARS of contributions to Miravida, by some of the most amazing team members. Let's be sure to recognize them for their commitment to our elders and to one another. We are fortunate you have chosen to be part of the Miravida family!
As much as we want to celebrate you, we also respect your privacy. To opt out of having your name on the calendar, send us an email.
We consider ourselves incredibly lucky that this amazing group of individuals has chosen to join the Miravida team this month. We look forward to supporting your success and helping you shine as you embrace your new role.
This team page is great to communicate with our employees across campus - but we also want to see your smiles. Send in your photo so we can update the banner on this page more frequently!
Just make sure your image is horizontal in nature... and that you're giving us your best Miravida smile!

Testing now moved to MONTHLY! For UNVACCINATED STAFF only.
Our next round of universal testing in our nursing homes (Bethel Home and Eden Meadows) is noted below. This testing is per the recommendations of the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Winnebago County Health Department. Your commitment to the testing is appreciated as we continue to work together in creating a safe environment for our residents and employees. As the positivity rate decreases, we are able to reduce the frequency of employee testing.
A friendly reminder to our Miravida community:
The COVID 19 vaccine is not a live virus, meaning it cannot give you COVID 19. The goal is to teach our immune systems how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. Sometimes this process can cause symptoms, such as fever. These symptoms are normal and are a sign that the body is building immunity.
The COVID-19 vaccine is a mRNA vaccine (Messenger RNA vaccine). It does not affect or interact with our DNA in any way. It never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA (genetic material) is kept. The cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA soon after it is finished using the information to fight the virus.
If a Miravida Living staff member experiences mild COVID-like symptoms following administration of the vaccine, they will be allowed to work after taking a rapid COVID test which will be performed at work.
Miravida Living will be getting the Moderna vaccine.
You can receive the vaccine 2 weeks after having a positive COVID test.
Yes. The effectiveness of the vaccine is 95%. To maintain safety of the entire Miravida Living community, testing will continue.
Yes, until we have further guidance from CDC
No, not right away. We need to fully understand the effectiveness of the vaccinations and their impact on our community before being able to change the way we offer dining services and activities.

Miravida Moments is an internal monthly newsletter, published by our magnificent Human Resources team. This publication captures a few, of the many, extraordinary moments inspired by our team. Enjoy!
The Miravida Living Working With Wonder team encourages you to continue to be mindful of your own health. Please feel free to reference the ideas that were on your bingo card back in April.

Continue to check Miravida Moments and flyers in your buildings for each month’s activity. We are excited to work with you, and for you!
Miravida Living Team, here you can find both internal and community resources to help you navigate through this time. Sending you heartfelt thanks for the care and services you are providing for our residents and the support you are giving to one another.
This free community closet contains different items that might be useful to you in your time of need. It's open and available 24/7 and is located in the Bethel Home Basement across from the employee lounge.
Every one of our employees are crucial members of the Miravida Living Team. While you are providing the best care and attention to our residents, it is important that you are taking care of yourselves. Your physical and mental health is a priority- please, reach out - you're worth it. Don't hesitate to contact our spiritual services team or the Human Resources department for assistance.
I am witnessing your commitment to our residents and one another. While proud of you every day, today, I am inspired by you.
