During this time, we know that the safety of your family is your #1 priority.

You can rest assured that your parents or grandparents are safe when in the hands of trained nurses and staff members. Whether in the care of a nursing home, independent living, assisted living, rehab facility, or long-term care facility, every precaution is being taken to ensure their safety and the safety of the staff and nurses.

Given the rapidly evolving situation, our desire to help stem the spread of the virus and protect our patients, employees and their families, we are following CDC’s guidelines for social distancing. That means a large number of our employees are teleworking. We will maintain operations and are committed to supporting our members, customers and the communities and patients we serve.

Our nurses have always answered the call to serve their country and communities during times of crisis. We know that clear communication, collaboration, resilience and innovation are key to navigating the challenges of effectively responding to COVID-19.

We stand with you and will continue to advocate on behalf of our nurses.

Older people and people of any age who have serious underlying health conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. People who may have issues getting assistance if they become ill, like those experiencing homelessness or people with disabilities are also at increased risk from COVID-19.

People with loved ones in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other types of senior living facilities may be understandably concerned about their loved one’s risk of illness from COVID-19.

To protect these vulnerable friends and family members, CDC has advised that long-term care facilities

• restrict visitors,
• regularly check healthcare workers and residents for fevers and symptoms, and
• limit activities within the facility to keep residents safe.
