IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
NOVEMBER 6, 2020
Our number one priority is the health and safety of our staff and residents in the community.
We are pleased to announce that effective November 9, 2020, our 28 day quarantine period will end and we will resume our scheduled visits but they will be held in the 300 Hall Parlor – not outside. These visits will be Monday-Saturday (except Thanksgiving Day) in the afternoons.
We have a NEW SIGN UP for the visits located on the website. Go to the home page and you will see an option for Book a Resident Visit. Please note that these visits are subject to change based on regulatory mandates and/or modifications made by Governor Cooper that impact long term care communities.
Thanksgiving Check Out – We plan to make this option available (please contact Life Enrichment at 919-639-9000 x 314 by Friday, November 13, 2020 to sign up) to check out residents for two days. The guidelines are as follows:
-
Check out is Wednesday November 25 between 9am and 12pm ONLY
-
You will be asked to sign a waiver at the time of pick up that includes the NC DHHS Interim Guidance for the Thanksgiving Holiday that you and your loved one will be asked to comply with.
-
Check in is Friday, November 27 between 9am and 12pm ONLY
-
When you return, you MUST have a negative COVID test for the resident that has been completed that morning. Please note: Urgent care centers will be open and COVID is a covered service. OR COVID tests are available online.
-
Please exit and enter through the main entrance so that screening can be done
-
The resident will be quarantined for 14 days following return.
-
No exceptions or changes to these rules will be permissible. Checking out and checking in requires staffing, packaging meds, packing other supplies, preparing residents so planning ahead is required to accommodate this special opportunity.
-
Based on how this process works, we will evaluate for future use at Christmas or other long weekends.
Please note that this check out and in process is subject to change based on regulatory mandates and/or modifications made by Governor Cooper that impact long term care communities.
