VISITING GUIDELINES

FOR

LEVINDALE HOSPITAL

Hospital Units Include:

High Intensity Unit (HICU)

Brain Health Unit (BHU)

Compliance is Mandatory. Thank you for your cooperation.

1. All visits will need to be scheduled. We are required to limit the number of people visiting

residents and patients. Scheduling can occur online – see website below. Indoor visits for the

long-term care/nursing center begin once we have two full weeks of staff and resident negative

tests.

2. We are building a new visitor center inside our lobby area. Visits to resident rooms will not be

allowed unless the resident/patient is bed-bound or too ill to transport to the lobby area. In this

case, provisions will be made to allow one person to visit the resident/patient in their room.

3. You will be provided infection control/COVID-19 education and will need to sign an attestation

that you have been educated, that you do not have COVID-19 symptoms, and that you will

notify us should you develop symptoms within 14 days of your visit.

7. Only one person can visit with the resident at any given time. You may swap during the visit,

but the other family members must wait outside of Levindale.

8. All visits are 30 minutes only. Please do not be late for your appointment as you will not be

allowed extra time for time you missed. This would keep other families from having a timely

visiting experience.

Levindale Support Person and Visitor Education

Effective October 2, 2020

• The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

• The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.• These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.• Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.

• Everyone Should: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of yourhands and rub them together until they feel dry.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact: • Inside your home avoid close contact with people who are sick.• If possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household members.• Outside your home: Put 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household. • Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.• Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people.• Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

What is COVID? How to Protect Yourself and Others

• Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others

• You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.

• The mask is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.

• Everyone should wear a mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

• Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The mask is not a substitute for social distancing.

• Monitor Your Health Daily

• Be alert for symptoms. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19. • Especially important if you are running essential errands, going into the office or workplace, and in settings where it may

be difficult to keep a physical distance of 6 feet.

• Take your temperature if symptoms develop. • Don’t take your temperature within 30 minutes of exercising or after taking medications that could lower your

temperature, like acetaminophen.

• Follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop.

• Get the flu vaccine this year!!!!!
