Visitor Information

We understand how vital it is for families and loved ones to reconnect in person. We also must prioritize the safety of our community during the evolving and changing circumstances.

Visitation Status: All areas of campus have resumed indoor visitations.

Reservations are not required for indoor visits. Visitors must use the main entry door to the building they are visiting, as self-screening prior to entry is required. If a visitor has not used the screening machine previously, we recommend contacting us to coordinate your visit with a staff member that will provide step by step assistance screening in. Visits are to take place in resident rooms only. Please do not hold visits in common areas, hallways, or courtyards. Reminder: Masks are required in hallways and common areas at all times.
