Dear Adult Care Home & Family Care Home Providers:

 

Thanks to those of you who participated in the DHHS “LTC Vaccine and Visitation” webinar on May 6, 2021. During that webinar, many of you submitted questions. During the presentation, DHHS also provided email addresses where our licensed providers could submit their visitation questions. We have collected all of the questions and organized them into several subject areas to make this FAQ document a convenient reference document for your use. As you’ll see, DHHS received a large number of questions and we hope the answers are useful as you continue expanding visitation in your facilities to allow visitation both indoors and outdoors to the greatest extent safely possible.

 

We know the past 15 months have challenged us in every way possible and through all of the unprecedented times, each of you has worked so hard to protect your residents and staff from COVID and to reassure them that we would get through this together—thank you for all of your incredibly hard work. With all we’ve learned about COVID transmission and the life-saving vaccines that have been developed and are widely available, today is a much more optimistic time for everyone. We know how much joy a resident experiences from a visit from a loved one. Thank you for everything you have been doing and continue to do to help them feel that joy!

 

For those of you who weren’t able to join the live “LTC Vaccine and Visitation” webinar presentation on May 6, it was recorded, and below are links where the recording may be accessed. We are including multiple download links in case your local firewalls restrict access to the cloud-based storage services.
