In the past week, a program has been instituted for outdoor visits with residents in the Skilled Nursing Unit (Clearwater). However, as a precautionary measure, visits to Assisted Living Unit (Adirondack), and Memory Unit (Sunnyside) are on hold for the time being.
In order to keep everyone involved safe, strict regulations as to masking and social distance have been put in place.
Visits must be scheduled two days in advance and can take place for a limit of 30 minutes, Monday - Friday, during the periods of 10 am - 11:30 am and 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm.
Visitors will be accompanied by a Visit Ambassador from the Kendal staff to the outside visitation area. They must first fill out a paper screening form and have their temperature taken.
Visitors must wear face masks and maintain six-feet social distancing.
It should be obvious to all that the safety of the residents involved is of prime importance. Kendal is under the direction of the New York State Department of Health.
Questions should be addressed to Lisa Wacht, Kendal’s Health Services Administrator.
