We are also collaborating with our medical director daily.

Dear Family, Friends and Loved Ones,
We are excited to announce that we are following the Center of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) guidelines to facilitate visitation for our Residents and their families. There are specific guidelines that have been put into place in order to keep you and your loved one(s) safe.
Indoor visitations will be held Sunday through Saturday, from 10am to 7pm. Calling the facility before you visit is encouraged. Our facility has a locked front door to provide safety for our staff and residents. When you arrive at the building, please ring the doorbell and we will screen you at the front door.
There is a limit of two (2) visitors per Resident per visit. A child is considered a visitor. Masks need to be worn by both Residents and their loved ones for the entirety of the visit. For this reason, we do not encourage visitation during meal service times because the resident and visitor need to wear a mask to prevent potential infections. Meal service times are as follows: breakfast starts at 7:30 am, lunch starts at 11:30 am and supper starts at 5 pm. If you bring food, please remember that it will not be permitted during the visitation for either the visitor or the Resident.
Visitors must to stay in the designated visit area in order to maintain the safety of other residents and employees. Both resident and visitor(s) must wear their masks to prevent spread of infections. Touching is not permitted unless the Resident has received both COVID vaccine shots. Visitation will be held indoors until weather improves.
We ask that you share this information with those who you believe may visit your loved one(s). Please feel free to contact the facility with any questions at (563) 243-6600.
Respectfully,
John Steinbeck, Administrator
