Following the safety prerequisites — includ- ing health screenings, face coverings, physical distancing and limits on the number of visitors — is mandatory as Oregon continues to experience an increase in outbreaks at long-term care facili- ties. While visits with fam- ily and friends are essen- tial to well-being, they also create significant risk, not only for the in- dividual who is seeing a loved one, but for every- one who lives and works in that care facility. The Department of Human Services outdoor visitation policy applies to all facilities licensed by the Office of Aging and People with Disabilities including nursing, assist- ed living, residential and memory care facilities as well as all adult foster homes. Facilities that are currently coping with COVID-19 cases, or sus- pected cases, may not of- fer outside visitation until DHS determines that the outbreak has resolved. All current indoor visi- tation restrictions issued in March remain in place regardless of the reopen- ing plan status of the county where the facility is located; however, res- idents are free to leave and return to their facil- ity if following all public health guidance. “We hope this policy provides some relief to residents, their family members and friends who we know have suf- fered extreme hardship as a result of visitation restrictions required during the pandemic. Balancing resident safety with the essential need to have contact with family and friends is challeng- ing as COVID-19 pres- ents life-threatening risks and spreads rapidly in congregate care settings,” said Mike McCormick, interim director of the DHS Office of Aging and People with Disabilities. be made by telephone at 1-833-819-5119, as well as online at www.lane county.org/AT.
