Revised Nursing Home Visitation Guidance – New York State

 

Our Facility has taken a broad range of precautions to prevent infection and/or mitigate its spread. Our clinical professionals are highly skilled and experienced in working with frail and vulnerable residents and our staff is focused on monitoring and addressing the healthcare concerns of all residents.

When a resident is diagnosed with COVID-19, we take great care to ensure they’re made comfortable in an isolated setting and are under supervision. Our staff wear full protective equipment, to include medical gowns, gloves, eye protection and masks, and follow infection control protocols and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
