Visitation Changes

Due to Pandemic, we have to keep precautions in place for visitors. Currently we are allowing in person visitation and encourage speaking with our receptionist about safety precautions being taken at the building and we can also offer appointments that will reduce any wait time upon your arrival.

All visitors and staff are to use the main entrance so that we may administer a health screening when necessary and inform visitors of our COVID status. This is being done to limit the risk of exposure to the residents and other staff members of our facility.

If you have any questions about our procedures during this time, please call our front desk at (855) 573-8466.

Protect Yourself

The CDC has published specific ways you can reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses like COVID-19:

Wash Your Hands

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you've been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid Close Contact

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Put distance between yourself and others if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

Protect Others

Stay home if you're sick, except to get medical care.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or the inside of your elbow. Immediately wash your hands with soap and water.
Wear a facemask if you are sick. If you are not sick, you do not need to wear a mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

Watch for Symptoms

Fever, cough, and shortness of breath may appear 2-14 days after exposure
Emergency warning signs include: difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion or inability to arouse, bluish lips or face.
This list is not all inclusive, so please consult a medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

Monitoring the Situation

We are monitoring the situation closely and how it affects our community. We will update our safety precautions as needed and note significant updates on this site.
