Dear Residents and Family Members,

Recently, Delaware Department of Public Health has released some guidelines on visits outside the Residence.

This is exciting news for you and us! We fully understand that this has been an extremely difficult year, and just like you, we hope to get to some sense of normal. We must remember that it is the regulators who make these determinations and advise us. We expect that many Residents are eager to visit outside of the Home, however we are still accountable for protecting them.

To facilitate visits outside the Residence, some guidelines must be established.

  • Limitations on the number of visits outside the facility per day.
    • A sign-up process for Residents and families to make reservations before taking a Resident out of the Home.
  • Infection control standards including masking, social distancing, and hand hygiene, must be practiced, at all times.
  • Certification must be signed by Resident and family member.
  • The Resident must comply with LSP screening (temp & questions) upon return.
  • All Residents who visit outside the Home will be subject to daily symptom screening.
  • All Residents who visit outside the facility are strongly encouraged to change clothing upon returning to the Home.

****For those who are unvaccinated, a 14-day quarantine period is required after each visit outside the Residence.

Thank you for your consideration and understanding which enables everyone to stay safe,and provides opportunities to visit with your loved ones.

May the Blessings of Easter abide with all!

Mother Margaret Regina
