Guy and Mary Felt Manor, following guidance issued by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), will no longer require visitations to be scheduled starting on Wednesday 11/17/21.
All individuals wishing to visit should now enter through the front doors, which will no longer be locked, and go through our screening process prior to visiting.
Visitors who have tested positive for COVID-19, have symptoms of COVID-19 or meet the criteria for quarantine, should not enter the facility.
Upon entering the facility, visitors will use the thermal temperature scanner to have their temperature logged. Then sign in on the facility visitor log sheet and complete the required COVID screening questions.
The following infection prevention standards must be followed:
-utilization of hand hygiene
-face covering or mask covering mouth and nose
-physical distancing at least six feet between people/residents
In order to reduce visitor movement throughout the facility, we have designated the Atrium as our visiting area. Once a visitor is checked in, they must go directly to the Atrium and wait until a staff member can bring your loved one to the visiting area. No children under the age of 18 are permitted to visit.
As much as we are excited to allow visitation for our residents at all times, we still have many concerns associated with visitation in regards to our county transmission rate continuing to be high. We ask that if you come to visit, please adhere to our infection control policies and procedures to help prevent the spread of the virus. Any visitor that is unable to adhere to the core principles of infection prevention, will not be permitted to visit and asked to leave.
Thank you for your support during this unprecedented time. We have the same goal – keeping our residents safe and healthy. Continue to show patience and be kind to others and we can beat this virus.
Kimberly Jones, NHA
