KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A third resident at Meadow View Health and Rehabilitation in Harrisonville has died from COVID-19 complications.

The latest person to die at the senior living facility was a female hospice patient in her 80s, according to the facility.

Ten residents at Meadow View have tested positive for the virus, but no new residents or staff have tested positive in the last 24 hours, the facility said in a statement.

“Our staff continues to screen all residents at least twice each day and every employee each time they enter our building for signs of fever, cough or changes to their health status and then take the appropriate response,” Craig Workman, a spokesperson for Meadow View Health and Rehabilitation, said in a statement. “All residents are encouraged to remain in their rooms. Our staff continues to conduct one-on-one activities with residents and to help them stay in touch with their families.”
