UPDATED VISITATION PER NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDANCE ISSUED ON NOVEMBER 15, 2021
Per the guidance, the St. Ann’s Community’s Skilled Nursing visitation policies are as follows, effective Monday, November 15, 2021:
Elders will be allowed to leave the building and visit with families outside of our community this year. Again, we ask that you keep your loved one safe by practicing good hand hygiene, masking, and limiting contact. Additionally, we will need time to obtain medications from our pharmacy and, if the elder is not independent, car transfer training must be completed with our physical therapy department. Please submit any requests for taking your loved one out of the building with your nurse manager a minimum of 72 hours ahead of time so that these things can be attended to prior to the scheduled outing. We will do our utmost to ensure that all elders get to spend time with the ones they love.
