Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has revised federal guidance for nursing home visitation, and no longer requires masks or testing. Visitors will continue to sign-in and undergo temperature checks at our kioks upon entering our community. Face masks are available at our front desk for those who choose to wear them.
With the Long Island community experiencing occasional cases of COVID-19, we must remind visitors of the potential risk of exposure to COVID-19, as positive test results among staff or residents arise on occasion. We continue to employ strict infection prevention measures to ensure your safety as well as that of our residents and staff. In addition to enhanced sanitizing efforts, our staff is continuously educated on protocols for infection control, both at work and in their personal lives. Every effort is made in caring for our residents to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We ask that you refrain from visiting if you are feeling unwell and thank you for your cooperation in helping our efforts to keep our staff, residents and visitors safe.
If you have questions about visitation, please contact his/her social worker. You may also email info@gurwin.org with questions.
