CMS and CDC have published revised visitation guidance. Adult Care Homes and Family Care Homes (assisted living) are required to follow CDC guidance. At this time, we have no other guidance from NC DHHS/DHSR/ACLS.

Please follow the CDC guidance until further notice. NCALA will notify you when we have further information.
We know each community is different and serves a broad range of residents who have many individual differences. Please take time to formulate your community visitation based upon the revised CDC guidance and the individual characteristics of your AL community.
