COVID-19 Outdoor Visiting Procedures Update

We have updated our outdoor visiting procedures:

• Outdoor visits may be conducted during the hours the front desk is open
• The visitor must self-screen and attest to no COVID symptoms, or recent COVID exposure
• 2 areas in front of the big windows will be set up so that 2 residents may receive visitors at the same time
• If the weather turns bad, outdoor visit can be turned into a window visit
• Due to lack of space, visits need to be scheduled with the front desk
• Staff will transport residents to and from the visit
• Residents and their visitors don’t have to socially distance within their group
• Any visitor experiencing symptoms within 3 days of their visit needs to report that to the nursing office
• Outdoor visits will be cancelled if a positive case is identified in a staff member or resident
• Visits may resume after the test results have been received following the 1^st round of testing after a new positive case
• Compassionate care visits or hospice visits will continue
  • Please request compassionate care visits through the unit nurse or unit coordinator. They will relay the request to the nursing office for approval.
