Senior care facilities are now taking steps to limit the impact of coronavirus.
Holiday Resort is discouraging visitors from entering the building unless necessary. Hours are limited from 8 am to 6 pm. Visitors will need to fill out a questionnaire and have a temperature below 100.3 to be admitted. Visitors are also told to limit their visits to resident rooms and to avoid commons areas.
Presbyterian Manor has also announced visitation changes. Visitors are told not to arrive at the facility unless they are visiting somebody in hospice or end-of-life care — or if they are considered essential to the resident’s emotional well-being and care. Visitors should also wear personal protective equipment like gloves, masks and scarves and they should limit physical contact with the resident during the visit.
Flint Hills Care Center has reduced visitation hours from 9 am to 5 pm for necessary visitors only and is encouraging other means of contact, especially video chats or phone calls.
Emporia Place is using signage to direct potential visitors to meet with staff before they can enter.
