COVID-19 Update as of February 10, 2021
The Bird House continues to be COVID free and is working very hard for the safety of our hospice guests, loved ones, employees, and volunteers. Each hospice guest can have two designated visitors. If the hospice guest is able to get outside on their own or in a wheelchair, the guest may meet with up to 10 families members in one of our outdoor porches or the picnic shelter. All visitors must wear a mask in the common areas of the house, get their temperature taken upon arrival, and not have any current symptoms of illness. or contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Washing hands frequently is a must. Hand sanitizer and masks are available at the entrances and around the house. Our Home Coordinator will talk with the family and friends over the time as the time of death gets closer to help them work through visits. We know the importance of being together and try to safely make this possible as much as we can. We will facilitate Zoom visits, phone calls, and window visits.
