Weekend visitation is available from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and does not require an appointment.
Additionally, the following guidance has been released by the DOH:
- Residents, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, are permitted to participate in outdoor visitation. Visitors must escort their loved one outside, and back to their room at the end of their visit.
- If both the resident and their visitor(s) are fully vaccinated, and the resident and visitor(s) are alone in the resident room or outside on facility grounds and socially distanced from others, the resident and visitor may choose to have close contact (such as a hug) without a mask or face covering.
-
If the resident is fully vaccinated, they can choose to have close contact (such as a hug) with an unvaccinated visitor while both are wearing a well-fitting face mask and performing hand hygiene before and after.
-
Regardless, individuals must maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet from others during indoor and outdoor visitation and when traveling to and from a resident’s room.
Please note that face masks are still required outside of residents' rooms. You are only allowed to travel to and from your loved one’s room and cannot travel anywhere else within the unit or the facility at any time. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

- The nurse will provide a face mask to the resident.

Masks must be worn by both resident and visitor(s) during transport through the facility and during the visit. EXCEPTION DURING VISIT: If the resident and their visitor(s) are fully vaccinated, and the resident and the visitor(s) are socially distanced from others, the resident and visitor(s) may choose to have close contact without a mask.
