Effective Immediately: Safer Visits in Wisconsin Assisted Living – A Person Centered Approach Revised April 2, 2021
Safer Visits in Wisconsin Assisted Living – A Person Centered Approach has been revised and contains new guidance and expectations on how assisted living facility can safely facilitate in-person visitation and increase communal activities and dining to address the psycho-social needs of residents. The physical separation from family and other loved ones has taken a physical and emotional toll on residents.
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new visitation guidance that promotes in-person and extended visitation for persons living in long-term care settings. This new information has been incorporated into the Safer Visits in Wisconsin Assisted Living guidance to provide a balance between maintaining safety and supporting residents, family members and staff.
