Fairmount COVID-19 Response Updates

Fairmount Protection and Prevention Updates are provided to keep our residents, residents’ loved ones, and team members informed of the latest recommendations for keeping our residents and team members safe. Visitation remains open every day, with the preferred visitation times being between 10am and 7pm.  Visits may continue as long as you are feeling well; please refrain from visiting if you are feeling unwell.  When visiting, please follow the infection prevention guidelines available at the entryway.

Masks requirements have been updated as follows, due to Lancaster county’s COVID transmission level maintaining “substantial” status for the past two consecutive weeks:

• Staff and visitors may choose to not wear a mask in non-patient care areas. Non-patient care areas include the Café, front lobby, break rooms, offices, nurses station, kitchen, and meeting rooms.
• Masks must be worn in patient care areas, including residents rooms, resident lounges, resident dining rooms, when walking down resident hallways, when directly speaking with a resident in a non-patient care area.
• Masks must be worn at ALL TIMES if you have any cold signs and symptoms (for the duration of the cold) and if you were exposed to someone with COVID. (Masks must be worn for 14 days following exposure.)
• Please help to continue keeping our residents safe from COVID. If Lancaster county goes back up to the level of “High” masks will return immediately.

Thank you for everything you all have done for our residents over these difficult, past three years!
