Division of Quality Assurance: Notifications & Updates

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document to answer questions regarding visitation in Nursing Homes. CMS hopes this additional information is helpful to residents, families and providers to ensure that safe visitation can occur, especially during the holiday season. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can be found on the CMS Government Current Emergencies page and also in QSO-20-39-NH REVISED.
