05-25-2022 Visitation Update
- 2 staff positive for COVID
- All units still allowing visitation under CMS guidance
- Indoor Group Activities continue
Two of our Dietary staff have tested positive for COVID-19. These staff members are placed off of work until they are no longer COVID positive.
Visitation on each of the nursing units is still allowed with visitors properly self screening at the entrance of either building. All visitors are to follow these guidelines when visiting:
- By CDC guidance that CMS requires we follow, visitors inside the buildings are to be masked. Because not all patients are vaccinated, visitors and patients wishing to visit without masks are to conduct their visit outdoors. Visitors may also be required to wear additional personal protective equipment that we will supply while in the room visiting a resident depending on the status of the unit and the status of the resident. Keep in mind that our patients are at our center because their health is already compromised. Let’s join together in helping keep them safe while inside! Afterhours visits can be provided by contacting your loved one’s social worker.
Indoor Group Activities are continuing with infection control measures in place that includes small size groups, plenty of distancing, and mask wearing. As the positivity rate continues to decline and if we have no outbreak within the facility, we will continue to carefully conduct these small group gatherings.
