Campus Visitation
Click here to view our latest communication about visitation and screening.
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 transmission rate for Cumberland County: High (Red)
Self-Screening Process
- Those entering the community will be responsible for self-screening according to the guide below (which is posted at all entrances). It is the visitor’s responsibility to determine if they meet the criteria to enter, and to notify the proper individual if they do not.
- Visitors should not enter the community if they:
- Have had a positive viral test for COVID-19 in the last 10 days.
- Have had any signs or symptoms of illness in the past 48 hours, to include: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
- Have had a close contact exposure to someone with COVID-19 in the last 10 days. A close contact exposure is defined to mean that you were within 6 feet for 15+ minutes with someone during a 24-hour period that has COVID-19.
- If you do not meet the criteria to enter, please consider rescheduling your visit to another time when you can meet the criteria to enter. If your visit is urgent, please contact us, as we may be able to assist you in connecting with your loved one safely.
- Visitors should not enter the community if they:

- For in-person visits, visitors must wear a mask at all times and try to keep visits to an hour or less. Two guests may visit at a time.
Masks are required in community indoor common areas for all residents and guests of The Oaks Skilled Nursing. This applies to all residents and guests, even those who are vaccinated. Associates will continue to be required to wear masks.
MapleWood Assisted Living
MapleWood Assisted Living is open for visitation, as well as window and virtual visits. To schedule a virtual visit, please contact Alex Borkowski at [email protected] or 717-591-8372. For in-person visits, we ask that visitors please wear a mask at all times and try to keep visits to an hour or less. Two guests may visit at a time.
Masks are required in community indoor common areas for all residents and guests of MapleWood Assisted Living. This applies to all residents and guests, even those who are vaccinated. Associates will continue to be required to wear masks.
Residential Living
Masks are not required for Residential Living residents and their guests. We strongly recommend that those residents who are deemed “immune-compromised” still wear masks while in the residential public/common spaces. We also recommend that residents take the necessary precautions with visitors who are unvaccinated. Associates will continue to wear masks, and MapleWood Assisted Living and the Oaks Skilled Nursing areas still require all visitors to wear masks.
Residents may have guests at their home with no time limit. Please ensure that you can maintain 6 feet of physical distancing in your home. Prior to inviting any visitors, please check the PA COVID-19 Travelers Info page here, health.pa.gov/topics/disease/coronavirus/Pages/Travelers.aspx, to ensure any visitors you plan to host have followed the state guidance on travelers (you can also view travel-related FAQs on the webpage).
We are also asking that residents who are planning on taking an overnight or extended trip check in with administration to ensure that the proper protocols are taken during that trip. We will still have the self -quarantine process in place for those times that residents are at risk. If a resident has a question about their trip or this process, please call John Bowen 717-591-8081.
Residents who are not fully vaccinated must self-quarantine for a full 7 days after return from travel – or 11 day if they do not complete the following testing protocol. They may discontinue self-quarantine if they are asymptomatic and have obtained a PCR COVID-19 test 5 or more days after return.
Resident recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days: testing and quarantine is not recommended.
Self-Quarantine Information:
- Residents who test positive and are fully vaccinated and “up to date” with the boosters only need to complete a 5-day isolation period if they are symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication. We still recommend that the resident wear a properly fitted mask for 10 days after their positive.
- Residents who are not fully vaccinated or “up to date” with the booster vaccine will need to isolate for 10 days. They can retest on day 5 and if negative can end their isolation on day 7.
- Residents who have been “Exposed” to a positive case (within 6 feet, without a mask for a period of 15 minutes or longer) and who are fully vaccinated and “Up to Date” with the boosters do not need to self-isolate. These residents need to monitor themselves for any type of symptom for a period of 48-72 hours and wear a properly fitting mask in public places. We also ask that they avoid community dining venues and social events for 10 days after exposure.
- Residents who have been “Exposed” to a positive case and who are not fully vaccinated or “up to date” with the booster vaccine will need to isolate for 4 days and complete a self-test on day 4. If negative, resident can end the isolation period.
