Visits at the Residential Home

We have made great strides in reducing the numbers of COVID-19 cases in our residential homes and want to continue minimizing the risk to those who reside in the homes.

We request you follow the indoor visit guidelines below:

  • Upon arrival and before the family can visit with their loved one, they must be fever free and answer “No” to all COVID questions on the questionnaire.
  • Masks must be worn at all times during all visits.
  • Indoor visits will occur in the individual’s bedroom or a designated area separated from other individuals and staff.
  • When families visit, they are to maintain 6 feet social distancing.


Visits Away from the Residential Home

You will be asked to complete a COVID-19 questionnaire regarding the family’s health no more than 24 hours before the visit. You will also be asked to complete a temperature check prior to taking your loved one. A mask will be required to be worn when picking up and dropping off your loved one.

Other Adult Services

  • Community Participation Supports in both the facility and in the community are open and follow Covid protocols.
  • Supported Employment Services is working with employers who are still operating to understand what steps are being taken in the workplaces of those we support who are considered higher risk.
  • Behavior Supports, Communication Services and Home & Community Supports continue to operate.
