Dear Family and Friends of Bethany Retirement Living,
We are pleased to share that we continue to be in a position to allow limited indoor visitation, based on criteria established by the Vulnerable Population Protection Plan (VP3) task force and the recommendations of the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH).
Each service area within Bethany Retirement Living has its own unique visitation guidelines. Please click on the link to the information specific to the area in which your loved one resides.
Thank you to those who have been tested for COVID-19 before visiting. We have added additional visitation hours for people who have at least 2 negative COVID-19 tests from within the last 20 days and plan on continuing to test regularly (see schedule below). We may ask you to provide proof of these results during your visit. If these testing requirements are met, you may visit during these additional times even if the person you are visiting has already had a visitor that day. We still maintain the limit of only one visitor in the person’s room at a time. Listed below are requirements that Bethany Retirement Living has put in place for visitation to keep our residents safe. Upon entering the building you will be screened and, if these requirements are not met, you will not be allowed access. If these guidelines are not followed while in the building, you will be asked to leave. Thank you for your understanding and continual support in protecting your loved ones and all who reside at Bethany.
- All visitors must wear a face mask and face shield at all times while in the building. You must have these when you arrive to visit or we will not allow visitation. These are available for purchase at Thrifty White Pharmacy at Bethany on 42nd (please use the pharmacy door on the west side of the building) or you can purchase one from a supplier of your choice.
- Only one visitor (18 or older) per resident per scheduled day will be allowed (unless testing requirements above are met). 1-hour limit on visit. This will be monitored. (Exceptions would be made for compassionate end-of-life care situations).
- It is strongly encouraged that all visitors have been tested for COVID-19 in the past 10 days and have received negative test results prior to their visit. Testing is available at Rheault Farm at 2902 25th St S Fargo from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. No appointment necessary.
- We will not allow visitation for residents/patients in isolation. We will not allow visitation for 14 days upon a resident’s/patient’s admittance or return from hospital/ER.
- All visitors must sanitize upon entering the building, during their visit, and when exiting the building. Please bring personal hand sanitizer with you if you can.
- All visitors must limit their visitation to only the room of the resident/patient they are visiting.
- All visitors must REFRAIN from shaking hands, hugging, or close contact with residents/patients during their visit and limit touching objects/items in their room.
- We will not allow visitation if you have had any of the following symptoms in the past 3 days: cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headache, fatigue, chills, loss of taste/smell, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
- We will not allow visitation if in the last 20 days you have been in close contact* with someone who is suspected of having or does have COVID-19.
- We will not allow visitation if you have a temperature greater than or equal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
