If you have been wanting to see family in long-term care, you can! Starting on July 1st, but there are limitations and certain requirements:
- The facility has completed COVID-19 testing and has met the criteria outlined by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) such as masks requirements and temperature checks.
- Outdoor visits are preferred, but indoor visits will be allowed for residents who cannot be safely moved outside or when the weather is too hot.
- Facilities will need to spend the upcoming weeks modifying both indoor and outdoor spaces that will be used for this purpose. They will also need to put a scheduling system in place.
- End of life visits for families will continue.
- Each resident will be able to have two visitors.
