To aid in reducing the transmission of flu and Covid-19, The Silvercrest Center STRONGLY advises all family and visitors to receive the flu and Covid-19 vaccines, and any booster doses as applicable. Due to high levels of Covid-19 cases in the community, a Negative Covid test (PCR or Rapid Test) is now required for visitation. The safety of our residents is always our first priority.

• All visitors must perform hand hygiene and temperature screening upon entry to the building. All visitors must sign in.

• In addition to masks, visitors must wear gowns and gloves, if indicated on signage on room door, while in resident rooms only.
• Visitors must remove their gown and gloves and then wash hands or use hand sanitizer before leaving resident rooms. Masks must remain on until exiting the building.
