Housing and COVID-19: How we’re keeping you safe

We are taking the following steps:

Masks

• All staff are required to wear procedure or cloth masks.
   
• All residents are required to wear masks when outside of their room and unable to stay at least 6 feet apart from others. Every resident is provided a new procedure mask each day.
   
•  All clinic visitors must wear masks.
   

Screening and testing

• Residents are screened for COVID-19 symptoms at many different points before and during their stay, including:
  • One week before they arrive. 
     
  • When they check-in to houses. 
     
  • Before getting on the SCCA shuttle. 
     
  • At the entrance to the SCCA clinic.
     
• If a resident is found to be symptomatic during any of these points, they will receive instructions on what to do next.
   

Social distancing

• Residents are asked to limit time in shared spaces that must be used, such as the kitchen and laundry areas at SCCA House.
   
• All common areas in SCCA House are closed; this includes the dining, fitness, media, and wellness rooms.
   
• Residents are asked to practice social distancing at all times. 

Other

• All high traffic areas are cleaned at least 3 times daily.
   
• Patients are asked to limit the number of people staying with them.
   
• No visitors are allowed in the houses. Home health care workers are an exception. 
   
• Patients and caregivers must provide their cell phone numbers at check-in. This allows us to contact them if they are exposed to a COVID-19 positive patient.
   
• Residents receive weekly written COVID-19 updates from housing leadership.
