Skilled Nursing (Healthcare Center)
On July 23, 2021 Pleasant View was notified of an employee testing positive for COVID-19. We are currently testing all staff and residents in accordance with state and federal guidelines. All staff are screened for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (including temperature) upon arrival to work. We have established quarantine and isolation procedures for both staff and residents in accordance with Pennsylvania Department of Health and CMS guidance. All staff having direct contact with residents are required to adhere to stringent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements.
As a result of this recent case, In-person visitation is currently not permitted. Virtual visitation is still available. To schedule a virtual visit, please contact Teresa Good at (717-664-6272).
Communal dining and group activities are currently paused in accordance with CMS and Department of Health Guidelines.
Personal Care
Terrace Gardens and the Meadows are both open to in-person visitation. Visitation appointments are not necessary. To limit movement and avoid crowds of people in the building, we are limiting the number of visitors to two per resident at a time for indoor visitation. Outdoor visits, generally, are the safest way to visit. We encourage outdoor visits, as weather permits. If you would like to have more than two visitors at one time (no more than ten), an outdoor visit is required.
Visiting Hours:
Monday-Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Sunday: 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Personal Care Visitation Guidelines:
- All visitors will be required to complete a thermal screen and COVID-related screening questions at the Terrace Gardens #4 entrance. Postpone or cancel your visit if you are not feeling well.
- After screening, visitors must sign-in at the Terrace Gardens Sign-In station (date, name of visitor, name of resident, and arrival and departure time). Visitors will be issued a visitor tag, which must be worn at all times while on campus.
- All visitors will be required to sanitize their hands upon entry and exit of our facilities.
- Bring a mask. A well-fitting mask must be worn at all times that is fully covering the mouth and nose.
- Pets are permitted during visitation, but limited to one pet per visit. Pet vaccination records must be on file with the front desk.
- Before leaving the building, remember to sign out at the Terrace Gardens Sign-In Station.
* We realize nothing beats the warm embrace between a resident and their loved one. Therefore, if the resident is fully vaccinated, they can choose to have close contact (including touch) with their visitor while wearing a well-fitting face mask and performing hand-hygiene before and after contact. We ask that all visitors maintain a safe distance between themselves and other residents as well as staff.
If the Terrace Gardens door is locked, please ring the doorbell and be patient.
Visits will be monitored for compliance with our visitation guidelines. Visitors not adhering to the guidelines may have visitation suspended to ensure the safety of our residents and staff.
Our ability to offer visitation to our residents can be affected by the local county positivity rate as well as our current COVID-19 cases in our facility. If visitation is not permitted, families will be contacted and our website updated.
If you have any questions, please call Jamie Reynolds, Director of Personal Care at 717-664-6312 or via email at reynolds@pvcommunities.org
