In addition to continuously monitoring and abiding by the recommendations put forth by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), we will continue to inform visitors of the local COVID-19 transmission rate in the surrounding community. Current infection rate for Calvert County: 14.55%. 

Screening & Masking

Masks are required in community indoor common areas for all guests at Asbury Solomons. This applies to all visitors and guests, even those who are vaccinated. Associates will continue to be required to wear masks.

All Asbury Solomons associates will continue to screen and wear masks at all times while working across all levels of care on campus. We will continue to review this requirement regularly and will incorporate the CDC and local and state departments of health guidance for healthcare workers.

Screening is still required for all visitors and guests who will be occupying a community space, including dining venues.

All vendors, and contractors will complete screening prior to entering the community.

The flow of the screening form is a bit different (including these statements you’ll be required to attest to), and you’re now required to enter in your temperature on the form. Please click here to fill out the online screening form and do the temperature check at the appropriate community entrance. You must pass the screening and temperature check to continue on to the campus.

Travel

If a Residential Living resident travels outside of the state to a county that is considered a hotspot by the CDC (10% or higher positivity rate),  the resident should inform Heather Jacobs at 410-394-3574.   If the resident has been fully vaccinated, there is no requirement to quarantine upon return.  Fully vaccinated refers to a person who is a least 2 weeks following the receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series, or at least 2 weeks following receipt of one dose of a single dose vaccine.

If a Residential Living resident is unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated and has visited out of state to a county that is considered a hotspot by the CDC, the resident should self-quarantine for 14 days upon return.  Please contact Heather Jacobs regarding any specific questions surrounding travel.

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 delivery of meals, please call 410-394-3051.  For delivery of packages, please call Reception at 410-324-2391.
