COVID-19 Considerations
As we gain some normalcy, we recognize that COVID-19 remains a very harsh illness, and because unvaccinated residents, staff, and visitors remain vulnerable, mitigation measures will continue as contemplated in our current visitation guidelines, which also ponder the most recent CDC recommendations for assisted living facilities.
We encourage all residents and family members to familiarize themselves with the current visitation guidelines, which can be found on ourwebpage (www.residentialplaza.com).
The visitation guidelines enable us to follow best practices forvisitation, infection prevention, and the screening and triage of everyone entering our community for signs and symptoms of COVID-19.
Please note:
We are adhering to The Core Principles of COVID-19 Infection Prevention to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Visitation slots will be assigned by appointment ONLY. Except for the visits for residents in an end-of-life situation.
To make an appointment go to ourweb page (www.residentialplaza.com), go to the Visitation Appointment App and follow the prompts.
We currently have available appointments in the morning (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM) and appointments available in the afternoon (2:00 PM to 8:00 PM). When making an appointment, regardless of the time you choose in the morning, it will enable you to visit from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and in the afternoon, regardless of the time you choose, it will allowyou to visit from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Remember, there is no visitation between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM.
All residents can leave the facility as theywish with no restrictions. If a resident stays overnight at a family member's home or elsewhere, we askyou to coordinate your arrival between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM to allow the healthcare staff to perform a rapid COVID-19 test.
Residential Plaza will perform a rapid COVID-19 test to staff and residents randomly, or in case someone is showing symptoms or is at risk by contact.
