Today Prairie Mountain Health released some information about visiting personal care homes.
The increased social visitation guidelines associated with general visitors allow facilities to ask for a person’s COVID-19 immunization status when determining whether in-person visits may take place.
This measure applies to being fully vaccinated for both visitors and residents.
In situations where the resident, visitor, or both are not fully vaccinated, indoor visitation continues to be restricted under general visitation guidelines.
Guidelines for the number of visitors and location of visits can still vary based on factors including the size of the room and a resident’s current medical condition or vaccination status.
Site screening and safety measures, including the wearing of masks, remain in place.
PMH advises that visitors check ahead of time with the personal care home before planning a visit.
