Guidance on how to properly care for your loved ones as they navigate through the aging process

What is the nursing home doing to help make it safe for visitors to come back?

Has the facility met the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
recommendations for allowing visitors? For example:

• Has it gone at least 28 days without a new COVID-19 case?
• Are cases declining in the surrounding community?
• Have all residents and staff been tested for COVID-19?
• Does it have enough staff?
• Are there adequate supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) and cleaning
and disinfecting products?
• Are there plans to permit outdoor visits as a transitional step, like some states have
allowed?
