Care & Rehab Barron understands that COVID-19 poses a significant threat to your loved one(s) here and we are complying with federal and state guidance for their health and safety. We also understand the need to visit your loved ones and this document outlines our commitment to accommodate and support visitation, including visits for reasons beyond compassionate care situations, based on the following guidelines provided by federal and state authorities.
Visitation can be conducted through different means based on a facility’s structure and residents’ needs, such as in resident rooms, dedicated visitation spaces, outdoors, and for circumstances beyond compassionate care situations. Regardless of how visits are conducted, there are certain core principles and best practices that reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission:
Core Principles of COVID-19 Infection Prevention
OUTDOOR Visitation
While taking a person-centered approach and adhering to the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention, outdoor visitation is preferred and can also be conducted in a manner that reduces the risk of transmission. Outdoor visits pose a lower risk of transmission due to increased space and airflow. Therefore, all visits should be held outdoors whenever practicable. Aside from weather considerations (e.g., inclement weather, excessively hot or cold temperatures, poor air quality), an individual resident’s health status (e.g., medical condition(s), COVID-19 status), or the facility’s outbreak status, outdoor visitation can be facilitated routinely. We have accessible and safe outdoor spaces for visitation, such as in our back patio, parking lots (if needed), including the use of tents. We have a process to limit the number and size of visits occurring simultaneously to support safe infection prevention actions (e.g., maintaining social distancing) as well as reasonable limits on the number of individuals visiting with any one resident at the same time. Visits must be scheduled with Community Life Coordinator.
