Facility News
Updated 4/15/21
CHANGES of the seasons, coupled with the CHANGES over the last few months on guidance regarding visitation have brought a dramatic increase in visitation interest: We have gone from 13 visits in February to over 230 visits in April.
Due to our facility wanting to support & encourage our residents to have opportunities to visit with their loved ones, the May visitation schedule will be as follows:
*each scheduled visit for May will be increased to 1 hour (this includes screening and escort time)
*each resident will initially only be able to schedule 2 visits for the month (to accommodate demand only 1 can be scheduled for a Saturday)
*the increased time can be utilized to enjoy the CHANGE of seasons in one of our CHANGING outdoor areas or
*prepare for the CHANGING season by CHANGING out your loved ones’ seasonal wardrobe.
*each visit can still involve 2 total visitors (cannot rotate visitors out during visitation session)
*after all residents have been given opportunity to schedule any additional appointments will be made available to all
To schedule your visits, please call the Activity Department at 336 527-7618. Due to high call volume, please leave only one message and your call will be returned by the end of the following business day.
REMEMBER: Window Visits and Portal visits (Puzzle Room and the end of 500 & 700 halls) are always available-NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY!

Our residents are continuing to enjoy lunch in the dining room daily and we plan to incorporate breakfast beginning this Thursday. Now that the weather is nicer, we are encouraging our residents to go in the courtyard and enjoy the fresh air. In April, we plan to reopen our activity room for group activities. We are continuing indoor and outdoor visitation currently but are no longer using the lottery method for scheduling. Families now can contact the receptionist or activities department directly from 8am-5pm to schedule appointments for these visits. The activities department can be reached directly at 336-527-7618. Due to the high volume of calls we do ask that you leave only one message and your phone call will be returned by the next business day. Window visits at our Chatham Communication Portals using iPads are available 24/7 to have an opportunity to independently communicate with our residents. There is always the ongoing option to schedule a video chat with a resident which can be coordinated with the activity department as well.
We will be hosting another Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic for residents and employees on 4/2/21 and are continuing to encourage our residents and employees to be vaccinated. With updated guidance regarding vaccination and visitation we would like to also encourage our resident family members and friends to get vaccinated as well. Please reach out to your local Health Department to get more information on the vaccination or to schedule.
