COVID-19 Response Plan

Visitation Information

Update on Visitation 11/17/21

Per CMS, visitations are now allowed for all residents at all times.

We would like to strongly emphasize, however, that we are currently in an outbreak with active COVID cases in the building and are obligated to let you know that visiting poses a risk to yourself and an even higher risk to your loved one in the facility.

That being said, here are the main points to remember if you choose to visit:

Visitors must be educated on the risk of visiting, especially during an outbreak (see previous in bold). A mask must be worn at all times, maintain 6ft of social distancing, follow hand hygiene and cough etiquette.
If you are visiting a resident or patient on a quarantine hall or room, you must wear full PPE. PPE can be found on carts at the top of each neighborhood.
Do not visit if you are having symptoms of COVID or feel ill, have had known exposure to COVID, have tested positive for COVID, or are unvaccinated and traveled out of state.
Maintain 6 feet of distance, even when in rooms; if you need more room to visit please talk with our team to help find other areas.
Visits should not take place in the resident room if their roommate is unvaccinated.
Residents should wear a mask during every visit to help keep them safe.
Please keep the number of visitors to a minimum at this time.
Visitation hours are 9am to 9pm.
Try to refrain from visiting during meals in the dining area as there is not space to maintain social distancing.
There is no age limit for visitors; those above two years old must wear a mask at all times.
Do not share food with residents.
No pets at this time because we may have to utilize common spaces.
Visitors can still choose to be tested if they would like.
Please ensure when you are self-screening in for a visit that you choose “visitor” on the tablet.
