For The Safety Of Our Residents
We are only allowing “essential” visitors including hospice care workers, doctors and private duty health care workers on the premises. All “social” visits to the community are not permitted until more information is available. Per the Illinois Department of Health, we are asking all essential visitors and staff to fill out a questionnaire and are screening for temperatures daily.
