Visiting Our Community

VISITING OUR COMMUNITY DURING THE CURRENT PANDEMIC
Providence Point continues to follow guidelines provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and other regulatory agencies to keep our residents safe during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We also strive to open our community for safe visitation to personal care and skilled nursing care residents. Following are Providence Point’s current guidelines for visitation. As characteristics of the pandemic change, these guidelines will also change. We encourage you to check here before making plans to visit our community. Thank you.
