Farmington Health Services along with the City of Farmington and Prime General Contractors held a groundbreaking ceremony on Trinity Campus.
Renovation Project Announcement
April 1, 2024
Trinity is excited to announce that the MN Department of Health approved our moratorium exception project to renovate our care center! Trinity is one of the highest rated nursing homes within 100 miles and this project will allow us to care for more residents at a capacity of 90 private or split-double rooms. We expect the project to cost approximately $11M and create an additional 18 FTE jobs within our community allowing us to better serve the long-term care needs of Farmington and the greater community, well into the future.
The North and Southeast wings of Trinity Care Center were built in 1963 and 1965 and consist of the original construction layout and cabinetry and are made up of 14 single rooms that share small bathrooms. Upon completion, Trinity will have added 20 newly updated, private rooms each with private bathrooms, a new bathing suite, a centralized nurse’s station, a medication room, a centrally located Community Room , a secure exterior garden area, a reconstructed indoor walkway connecting Trinity Terrace to the Care Center, and a new walkway connecting Trinity Suites to the Care Center, a large storage area and a new penthouse servicing the HVAC and utilities for this addition. We are excited for the last phase of construction to complement the beautiful design throughout the rest of Trinity Care Center.
Prime General Contractors of Eagan MN and Prairie Design Studio of Horace ND serve as general contractors and architect. Renovations will begin no later than June and are expected to take 15 months to complete. Please join us in our excitement for the project, and understand we hope to limit any inconvenience this may result in for those who work here and those who call Trinity home. We will keep you updated as construction progresses and appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this renovation project.

10/4/2021 Trinity Terrace COVID Update
10/4/21
Our campus continues to routinely test non-vaccinated staff weekly and when an employee or resident show signs or symptoms of COVID-19 or has had exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19. Today we had one employee test positive for COVID-19 at Trinity Terrace. We are following recommendations from MDH, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
What happens next? Tenants who are unvaccinated and were exposed to the positive employee will be quarantined. Thankfully our Trinity Terrace tenant vaccination rate is 97%. Currently no tenants will be required to quarantine. Visitors may continue. We will be testing all tenants on 10/6/21 and 10/12/21 or should someone present with signs and symptoms. All staff will also begin twice per week testing. Once we have come out of a two week period where no additional staff or residents test positive we will resume normal testing guidelines.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

5.17.2021 Masking Guidelines Remain in Place at Trinity Campus
May 17, 2021
Dear Family and Friends,
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Minnesota’s Governor and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announced yesterday some relaxation in wearing masks. This is exciting and welcome news. However, MDH is indicating that this news does not change masking or eye protection for nursing home or assisted living residents, staff and visitors. The rules in place last week remains the same at this time. When MDH makes any additional changes which impacts nursing homes or assisted living facilities, we will let you know.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our campus open for visiting and ending this pandemic. If you have not received the vaccination, we encourage you to connect with your primary health care provider or use the Vaccine Locator map (Vaccine Locations / COVID-19 Updates and Information – State of Minnesota (mn.gov)) to find a vaccine appointment near you.
