To: Skilled nursing facilities, assisted living residences, intermediate care facilities, and residential care facilities for persons with developmental disabilities (commonly referred to as group homes) Facility isolation plans are due on Friday, May 1, 2020. Submit all isolation plans to COVID-19FacilityIsolationPlan@state.co.us using the Isolation Plan Template. For a successful submission, a facility must submit 1 completed isolation plan template for each facility to the email address listed above.    Failure to comply with Public Health Order 20-20 is subject to the penalties contained in section 25-1-114, C.R.S., including a fine of up to one thousand (1,000) dollars and imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year. For more information, visit https://covid19.colorado.gov/ltcf. Form Guidance: It is best to download the form and complete it using Adobe Reader. You may be working with the form in a browser preview window instead of Adobe Reader. Browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox treat previews like web pages. If you navigate away from the form (clicking a link, closing a tab, etc.) all the completed fields will be lost, and it can be tricky to save a file using a browser. Using a browser to complete the form is not recommended. You can find a more in-depth explanation at:   https://techdipper.com/2018/05/22/edge-vs-chrome-vs-adobe-reader-pdf-viewer-best/. The Isolation Plan form allows for lengthy paragraphs of text to be entered into relatively small text boxes. This allows us to review long portions of text while maintaining a concise document. If you print a copy for your own records your printer won't resize the boxes and all of the text below the scroll line won't print. For questions about how to submit your isolation plan, please contact (303) 692-2836.
