Clearpol's Opinion of this Guidance as of 05/08/2023
Visitation is allowed for all residents at all times. The resident has the right to make choices about aspects of their life in the facility that are significant to the resident. Residents may deny or withdraw consent for a visit at any time. Therefore, if a visitor, resident, or their representative is aware of the risks associated with visitation, and the visit occurs in a manner that does not place other residents at risk (e.g., in the resident’s room), the resident must be allowed to receive visitors as they choose.
CMS still expects facilities to adhere to infection prevention and control recommendations in accordance with accepted national standards. This includes posting visual alerts at the entrance and in strategic places with instructions about current IPC recommendations.
It covers Outdoor and Indoor Visitation, including during an outbreak investigation. The facility’s policies regarding face coverings and masks should be based on recommendations from the CDC, state and local health departments, and individual facility circumstances.
