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), each Asbury community’s visitation availability will be determined by the local counties infection rate percentage. Current infection rate for Cumberland County: 3.6%.
Screening & Masking
All Bethany Village 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 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.
Residential Living
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).
Residents no longer need to screen in and out when leaving campus. Fully vaccinated Residential Living Residents will not have to screen-in when using the internal dining areas, beauty salon, fitness center and pool. However, unvaccinated residents need to be screened to utilize these on-campus venues.
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.
Fully Vaccinated residential residents and residential visitors will are not required to wear a mask. Please note: Masks are required for visitors while traversing the community until arriving at the resident’s home.
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.
