Stonehill Communities regards the safety, health, and well-being of our residents and staff as the utmost priority. Following CDC and IDPH guidance, Stonehill has limited indoor visitors at the Stonehill Communities Health Center. Family members are encouraged to set up video chat visits to stay connected with loved ones. Assisi Village residents are able to have scheduled indoor visits.
CMS has provided updated guidance regarding visitation following recent COVID-19 vaccinations. Effective 3/12/2021, Stonehill Communities Health Center will allow each resident one visit per day*. Stonehill will continue to request that visits be scheduled through your social worker to help us manage the number of visitors in the building at one time.
o Each resident may have one visit per day, two people may visit at one time.
o Visits should be kept to one hour or less to help manage the number of visitors in the building at one time.
o There is no limit to the amount of visits per week, as long as visits occur on different days and include no more than two visitors.
o Children are allowed to visit, but must be compliant with mask-wearing regardless of age. The child would count as one of the two visitors.
* End of life or Hospice visits will be evaluated separately and based on the resident’s condition and needs.
Please use this email address to schedule a visit: shcresidentvisits@stonehilldbq.com. In your email, please include the day of the week, who is visiting, the resident receiving the visit, and whether the visit will occur in the morning or afternoon.
All visitors will need to follow COVID-19 Infection Prevention strategies that include:
o Screening of all who enter the facility for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (e.g., temperature checks, questions or observations about signs or symptoms), and denial of entry of those with signs or symptoms
o Hand hygiene (use of alcohol-based hand rub)
o Mask covering mouth and nose
o Social distancing at least six feet between persons* (*social distancing may be disregarded if the resident and visitor have both been fully vaccinated)
Personal protective equipment must be worn at all times and visits are conducted in the resident room.
