Outdoor Social Distancing Visits
As always, we hope this finds you healthy and safe,
As promised Lanessa is pleased that we are now able to facilitate outdoor social distancing visits between you and your loved one. We recognize how stressful the visitor restrictions have been on our residents and their families/friends and we want this to be a successful and safe opportunity for all. Procedures have been established with guidance from the MA. Dept of Public Health, the MA. Dept. of Epidemiology and State Long Term Care Ombudsman Office and must be adhered to for the safety of our residents. We ask that you review these requirements below before scheduling your visit, so you are aware of the guidelines set forth.
Guidelines for Outdoor Social Distancing Visits
–All visits must be scheduled in advance and will take place in a designated area.
–The visitor must have their temperature and O2 stat taken, as well as, answer simple questions prior to the resident coming out for the visit.
—The resident and their visitor(s) must always wear a facial mask.
–Social distancing must be maintained throughout the entire visit. This means that the resident and their visitor(s) must always be at least six (6) feet apart.
