Temporary Change to Visitor Policy for Transitional Care and Subacute Units
In an abundance of caution amid the COVID-19 outbreak, we are making an
important temporary change to our visitor policy for our skilled nursing
program patients to support the safety of our patients and the staff members
caring for them. Effective immediately, we will not allow visitors into
the Transitional Care and Subacute units located at our South Campus location,
1633 S Court Street with limited exceptions for end-of-life patients.
at the guidance of The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. For
those who are not familiar, the patients who we care for in this unit
require extensive services such as ventilator care, tube feedings, etc.
We are in the process of informing our patient’s loved ones about
this important change and posting signs outside of South Campus that inform others.

in quality measures. The Best Nursing Homes ratings reflect U.S. News’
