Nursing Home Visitation Now Allowed for All Residents at All Times

Just in time for the Holidays

This is the moment we have all been waiting for! As of November 12, 2021 the Centers for Medicaid Services, CMS, announced Nursing Home visitation is now allowed for all residents at all times. All nursing home facilities should already be well on their way to implementing the new guidelines.

Just in time for all the Holidays, now friends and family members are allowed back into facilities to visit their loved ones. Please see the link below for the full policy. If you have any questions contact Pennyrile District Long Term Care Ombudsman Cindy Tabor for assistance at [email protected] or 270-886-9484.
