Here are some steps and polices we are implementing in the facilities that have already started.

As we are constantly making adjustments daily, we understand that these policies and changes will require voluntary effort from everyone involved. We are thankful for our dedicated staff that is working around the clock to provide exceptional services to a vulnerable (and potential high risk) population. We asked that anyone who may be experiencing flu like illness or symptoms to refrain from visiting the facility. In the meantime, we will provide periodic updates to address any future concerns.
