Travel & Holidays

The Maryland Department of Health has expanded its public health advisory for out-of-state travel. Marylanders “are strongly advised” against traveling to any state with positivity rates that meet a certain threshold. Currently, that threshold – a positivity rate above 10 percent or average case rates above 20 per 100,000 over the past week – applies to 38 states. We encourage residents to remain close to home for the holidays in accordance with Gov. Hogan’s and CDC guidelines. We cannot restrict residential living residents from traveling, but we will require testing and quarantine upon your return in accordance with state and federal requirements and guidelines, and with our current policies. Please help us keep each other as safe as possible by staying close to home and not gathering in large groups. If, against our recommendations, you travel to, or receive an, out-of-state visitor from one of the states on the CDC’s watch list, please notify your concierge so you can be quarantined for 14 days afterward and receive testing within the recommended timeframe.

Exceptions to Gov. Hogan’s state order on travel:
Governor Hogan’s latest advisory on travel has an exception for limited travel within the DMV area. If residents visit – or receive visitors from – the following regions, they are exempt from the requirement to quarantine and present a negative COVID-19 test: District of Columbia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. If a loved one is visiting you from these areas, you will not need to quarantine and your guest will not need to show evidence of a negative COVID test. He or she will still need to follow our usual screening procedures of filling out the online or paper screening form, and having their temperature taken at the 98.6 machines in lobbies. As always, Villas and Courtyard homes are exempt from guest screenings when coming to and leaving directly from their homes. Despite these state advisory exceptions, Asbury still strongly recommends virtual visits during the holidays.

• Residential Living Residents: The screening process remains in effect. Residential Living residents must complete this online form and perform temperature checks as it relates to our current screening process. If a resident travels to one of the states identified by the CDC, the resident should inform Stephanie Sabine (301-216-4337 or SSabine@Asbury.org), and follow the guidelines to get tested upon return and, no matter the result of the test, additionally to self-quarantine for 14 days. If the test comes back positive, the resident should also inform Stephanie so we can determine next steps and appropriate care.
  • Residential Living Visitors: Day-to-day visitors must continue to go through our screening process, completing the online screening form and performing a temperature check upon arrival. As you will note on the screening form, if a visitor fails the screening, then they should leave the community immediately and inform the resident they were planning to see. Out-of-state visitors must get tested for COVID-19 promptly upon arrival to Maryland or 72 hours prior to travel to Maryland, per Governor Hogan. Evidence of test results is required for all out-of-state visitors, and should be provided to the screener at the time of arrival. If a resident receives an out-of-state visitor from one of the states on the advisory, the resident will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days.Residents may welcome guests to their home with no time limitations, including overnight visits. Please allow for 6 feet of physical distancing. Visitors must be screened if you are entering a building on our campus. If a visitor is going straight to a Villa or Courtyard Home you do not require screening. Masks are required in common areas of our community, and we ask that you avoid touching surfaces and practice 6-feet physical distancing, including one person to an elevator. Residents who leave the community for errands or day trips are required to follow our screening process upon return. Residents who spend more than 24 hours off campus or in the hospital are required to self-quarantine upon return.Self-quarantine: Residents who self-quarantine are required to remain in their home for 14 days. We are currently providing delivery service of packages and meals. For details about this process, contact Stephanie Sabine at 310-216-4337, ssabine@Asbury.org.
• Assisted Living Residents: We strongly discourage any sort of travel or leave-of-absence outside of Kindley Assisted Living. If a resident were to travel offsite for any non-essential reason, the Kindley resident should inform LaToya Brown (301-216-6101 or LNBrown@Asbury.org) or Theresa Johnson (301-216-6225 or TLJohnson@Asbury.org), and follow the guidelines to get tested upon return. No matter the result of the test, the resident will need to additionally self-quarantine for 14 days. If the test comes back positive, the resident should coordinate with Theresa so we can determine next steps and appropriate care.
  • Assisted Living Visitors: We continue to offer window & virtual visits, and in-person visits are postponed at this time. Approved visitors for select cases – such as for compassionate care – must go through our screening process, completing the online screening form and performing a temperature check upon arrival. If a visitor fails the screening, then they should leave the community immediately. Out-of-state visitors must get tested for COVID-19 promptly upon arrival to Maryland or 72 hours prior to travel to Maryland, per Governor Hogan. Evidence of test results is required for all visitors, and should be provided to the screener at the time of arrival.
• Wilson Health Care Center Residents: We strongly discourage Health Care Residents leaving the premises for any non-essential reason. If a WHCC resident were to travel out of the building for any non-essential reason, the resident must inform Muriel Langley (301-216-4116 or MLangley@Asbury.org), and follow the guidelines to get tested upon return. No matter the result of the test, the resident will need to additionally self-quarantine for 14 days.
  • Wilson Health Care Center Visitors: We continue to offer virtual visits; in-person visits are postponed at this time. Approved visitors for select cases – such as for compassionate care – must go through our screening process, completing the online screening form and performing a temperature check upon arrival.

Testing is an important component of our COVID-19 prevention strategy. We are pleased to share some outstanding results for Asbury Methodist Village and the Asbury system. As of November 1, Asbury has conducted just over 22,000 COVID-19 tests at our communities with a positivity rate of  just .5 percent. This compares to a national positivity rate of 7 percent. At Asbury Methodist Village, we have conducted 9,110 tests with a positivity rate of just .5 percent.

Associates at Wilson Health Care Center and Kindley Assisted Living undergo weekly testing. Residents of Wilson Health Care Center and Kindley Assisted Living undergo testing as ordered by a physician and/or as instructed by the Maryland Department of Health.

Residential Living: A resident who believes they may have been exposed to COVID or is showing symptoms recognized by the CDC as being possible markers of COVID-19, should contact their physician for testing or visit a local testing center. Please also notify Stephanie Sabine at 301-216-4337 or ssabine@asbury.org, so that we may begin immediate contact tracing.

Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing: Residents are monitored daily for any signs identified as potentially symptomatic of COVID-19 per CDC guidelines. Additional measures are implemented in line with Asbury’s system-wide infection-control algorithm, including quarantine in a specially designed area of the building.

Asbury Methodist Village associates are cleaning and sanitizing common and activity areas routinely and have been provided with the appropriate cleaning and disinfecting supplies that provide the shortest kill time for viruses such as COVID-19.  These professional-grade products are being used as much as possible by our trained teams, and we store them away appropriately when not in use. If you see additional cleaning supplies around the community in common areas, rest assured they are safe to use and we encourage you to do your part in assisting us in keeping common areas clean.

Cleanliness has always been a priority at Asbury communities, with dedicated maintenance and housekeeping departments ensuring that common areas are kept in good repair and regularly sanitized. With the advent of COVID-19, we quickly enhanced cleaning protocols and time-frames, and continue to monitor the effectiveness of our cleaning products for infection-control. Hand sanitizer stations are available throughout campus common areas, as well as signage addressing infection-control, physical distancing, and mask requirements. Learn more about our prevention and infection-control measures.

The Asbury Communities Operations Team is working with community leadership teams to develop safe, phased reopening plans in line with public health and state guidelines. At all times, we follow science-based guidelines with resident safety as our highest priority. Residents and family members can expect weekly email updates as we slowly reopen community services and areas.

Please see the CDC Guidelines on Large Events and Gatherings, which is informing our reopening strategy.

Asbury President & CEO Doug Leidig notes that “reopening is not like turning on a light switch. Think of it as slowly turning up a dimmer switch.” Senior communities such as ours lag for good reason behind these phased-in reopenings; we are guided by many different plans and requirements placed upon us by numerous federal, state and local agencies. We appreciate your continued understanding and patience as we work through this process safely together.
