CMH Foundation long-term care facilities are allowing two visitors by appointment for outdoor, indoor, closed window, and foyer visits. Expanded visitation opportunities allowed by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) now include indoor and in-room visits, updated guidelines allowing touch for fully-vaccinated residents and less restrictive quarantine procedures for fully-vaccinated residents.

Visits are subject to restrictions in compliance with CMS regulations. Prior to visitors entering a facility, they will be screened and a COVID-19 test will be provided. A complete listing of updated visitation requirements for long-term care facilities is available at: https://bit.ly/3ezaxNC
