COVID-19 NOTIFICATION
December 2021
Dear Residents, Families and Friends,
We write this letter to inform you of The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) most recent guidance regarding visitation in nursing homes, which is in effect immediately.
At all times, especially during visitations, our facility will continue to practice and enforce the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention (“Core Principles”), which include but are not limited to screening all visitors for signs and symptoms of COVID and ensuring that visitors (1) practice hand hygiene; (2) use face coverings or masks that cover the mouth and nose; (3) practice social distancing of at least six feet apart during the visit; and (4) can view instructional signage throughout the facility and receive education on COVID-19 signs and symptoms, infection control precautions and other applicable facility practices. Also, our facility staff will clean and disinfect high frequency touched surfaces and designated visitation areas after each visit and they will use appropriate PPE at all times.
