The essential visitor must comply with wearing the same personal protective equipment (PPE) as the staff wear upon entry, and if both the visitor and resident are fully vaccinated, may remove their masks inside the resident room only.

Personal Visits:

• Personal visits are permitted with Covid-19 negative elders only.

• Personal visits are not restricted to essential caregivers.

• Personal visitors must comply with wearing a surgical face upon entry, and if both the visitor and resident are fully vaccinated, may remove their masks inside the resident room only. Elders must wear a surgical face mask at all times during the visit as tolerated and may choose to have close and personal contact with their visitor.

•Wearing a mask and performing hand hygiene is required regardless of the type of visit or your vaccination status. If you refuse to wear a mask, or dispute the requirement, you will be asked to leave the community.
