As a result of the new COVID-19 strain in California, the following policies will be in place for all nursing homes in LA County:

  • Maximum of 2 non-essential visitors are permitted per resident at any given time
  • Visitors must wear a mask at all times
  • Visitors must show proof of vaccination OR show that they have tested negative for COVID-19 in the past 3 days
  • Nursing homes are required to implement screening measures that visitors must pass before they are permitted to enter the nursing home
  • Visitors must socially distance from all residents apart from the resident that they are visiting

Failure to comply with any of these policies shall result in the visitor being required to leave the nursing home.

Thank you for helping us ensure the safety of all nursing home residents and staff.
