Everyone at Chautauqua Guest Homes is excited that Spring is in the air. Now that visits are more readily accessible and you are able to see and hug your loved one, we would like to offer a few reminders to help keep everyone safe so that we are able to keep progressing forward. We recognize that this has been a very long and difficult year for everyone. In the event that you choose and are able to take your loved one out of the facility we encourage you to practice safety measures to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19. This includes the use of good hand hygiene, wearing a face mask, avoiding large crowds, and avoiding the risk of ‘high exposure.’ High exposure is being in close contact with a person deemed COVID positive without PPE (mask) for 15 minutes in a 24-hour period or if attending a large gathering where social distancing and masks were not worn and COVID transmission is likely. If you are taking your loved one home for a family celebration and meal, best practice would be to wear a face mask except when eating and performing frequent hand hygiene.
For the safety of everyone, we ask that you please honor these recommendations and please communicate with the facility if you are aware of any possible concerns of exposure of your loved one so that the facility may follow up as appropriate.
We appreciate your understanding and help to maintain everyone’s safety.
