Dear Residents/Family Members,

Unfortunately, employee testing this week has revealed a positive result. As such, we are required to again suspend visitation for two weeks. We have tested all residents in house as a precautionary measure and thankfully received no positive results.

Barring any additional employee positive results, we may reopen on October 26th. Please reach out to Judy closer to this date to begin scheduling visitation.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

At San Simeon, our top priority is ensuring the health and safety of all our residents. And in order to protect their well-being, along with the well-being of our staff and visitors, we developed a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Adhering to the guidelines set by the NYS Department of Health, this plan keeps us prepared to deal with any unforeseen future events.

Dear Residents/ Family Members / Loved Ones / Designated Reps.,

Having had no new positive cases among our staff, and remaining COVID free for our residents, we are on track to reopen to outdoor visitation beginning Thursday, October 1st. Please reach out to Judy if you would like to schedule your meeting time. Be reminded of the Governor’s new rule requiring visitors to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within one week of the visitation date. Additionally, you may still request window visits and arrange for FaceTime video meetings through the Activities Department.

Stay well.

Dear Resident/Family Members,

Unfortunately there is an additional update to our recent visitation update.  While the 14 day requirement does begin tomorrow, allowing visitation for us as of October 1^st, visitors must now present proof of a negative COVID test within the immediate 7 days prior to your visit.  As we read the regulation, this proof of testing would be necessary every time you visit.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

Dear Resident/Family Member,

NYS Department of Health has revised their guidance regarding family visitation with residents. Instead of requiring 28 days from the last employee or resident positive test result, we now must wait only 14 days. This change goes into effect on September 17th. So for us, assuming there are no new positive test results between now and then, we can resume visitation on October 1st (rather than 10/7). Closer to that time, you may call to schedule visitation with Judy following the same procedures we had previously set up.

Looking forward to seeing you back visiting your loved ones.
