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: 29.12%.
Screening & Masking
In line with the CDC and in light of the climbing COVID-19 positive case rates in Calvert county, masks are required in community indoor common areas for all residents and guests at Asbury Solomons. This applies to all residents and guests, even those who are vaccinated. Associates will continue to be required to wear masks.
All Asbury Solomons associates (vaccinated or not) 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.
Family members or visitors will not need to screen in unless going into a public area at the community to include any dining venue or to visit a resident in Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing. Please note: Masks are required while traversing the community until arriving at the resident’s home.
All vendors planning to visit a community will continue to be required to screen in (including a temperature check) and wear a mask throughout the duration of their visit.
For those planning to visit when/where screening is required, please go here, https://bit.ly/AsburyEntryPass, to fill out the online screening form and then do the temperature check at the appropriate community entrance. (Chrome or Safari are the preferred web browsers; there have been issues reported when using Internet Explorer). If you do not have a smart device, an associate will read you the screening form. At our screening area, please complete a temperature check at our temperature kiosk. 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.
