Nursing home visitation

 

To:
Skilled nursing facilities

On September 17th the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released guidance for visitation in nursing homes. This guidance overlaps with previous guidance released by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment but does not match exactly. CDPHE is currently comparing the two guidance documents and engaging CMS is in a discussion about the differences. At this time, CDPHE recommends facilities use outdoor visitation when possible. CDPHE will provide further communication about visitation once the comparison is complete. To view the CDPHE guidance documents, please click below:
