The NC Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released new guidance for nursing home visits based upon recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  This new guidance significantly improves the ability for our residents to receive visitors indoors.  While the new guidance lifts several previously mandated restrictions, there are still some that remain in place that we must follow.  Such as:
  • Screening of all visitors for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and recent exposure to the disease.
  • Wearing a mask which covers the nose and mouth while in the facility.
  • Washing hands before and after visits.
  • Social distancing of at least six feet between persons.  NOTE: Vaccinated residents may choose to have close contact with visitors and be unmasked.
  • Remain in designated visitation spaces to include living rooms, day rooms or private resident rooms. 
Outdoor visits are still preferred due to the low risk of transmission, but we will be allowing indoor visits for all residents regardless of their vaccination status.  However, indoor visits may be temporarily suspended in the following situations:
  • Unvaccinated residents cannot have indoor visits when the county positivity rate is above 10% and less than 70% of facility residents are vaccinated.
  • Outbreak testing is being conducted due to a newly identified COVID-19 positive resident and/or staff member.
  • Resident has a confirmed COVID-19 infection and is being isolated or quarantined.
Indoor compassionate care visits will always continue for residents who qualify. Resident wishes will be followed in regards to visits being scheduled or unannounced.  If a visit needs to be scheduled, please contact the social services department directly from 8am-5pm. The social services department can be reached directly at 252-240-7074. Due to the high volume of calls we do ask that you leave only one message, and your phone call will be returned by the next business day.
