Visitation at Amie Holt Care Center

Amie Holt Care Center recognizes that our residents need to spend time with their family and friends. Visitors are allowed at any time following the guidance of the CDC and CMS. While the guidance is subject to change, we currently ask all visitors to:

• Do not visit if you are feeling ill or have had COVID-19 in the last 10 days.
• All visitors are screened at the front entrance for symptoms of respiratory illness.
• Surgical masks must be worn in the hallway at all times.
• Do not visit with staff or other residents in the hallways, please go directly to the resident room or other designated visiting areas. During warm weather, outside visits are recommended.
• We recommend keeping masks on throughout the visit in the resident’s room.
• Family members may bring food to share a meal with residents in their rooms if the resident is not on quarantine; 6-foot social distancing is recommended when masks are removed for meals.
• Residents are required to wear masks in hallways and common areas.
• Residents are allowed to leave the campus. They are required to sign an informed consent before leaving. A questionnaire is completed when they return to determine if they have had potential exposure. AHCC staff will review these forms to determine if quarantine may be needed upon the resident’s return.
• When a staff member or resident tests positive for COVID-19, we will post a sign on the main entry door that we are in “Outbreak Status” to notify visitors of the potential for exposure in our building.
• Visitors are allowed during outbreak status but they should keep their masks on at all times.
• Residents and staff who have had contact with the person who tested positive for COVID-19 will be tested following CDC/CMS guidance. If a visitor believes they may have been exposed by a resident or staff member, they may contact Amie Holt Care Center for follow up.
