In-Person Visitation

Guidelines for in-person visitation.

To ensure the safety and health of patients staying in our transitional care centers, we are following the guidance of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in allowing skilled nursing centers to welcome in-person visitors.

Each of our care centers allow indoor visitation at all times for all patients. That means there is no longer a limit on the frequency or length of visits or the number of visitors and there is no longer a requirement to schedule visits in advance.
