CMS Issues New Guidance for Long-Term Care Facilities

Apr 03 2020

CMS has issued updated guidance to nursing homes providing critical recommendations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The recommendations announced include:
  • Nursing homes should immediately implement symptom screening for all staff, residents, and visitors – including temperature checks.
  • Nursing homes should ensure all staff are using appropriate PPE when they are interacting with patients and residents, to the extent PPE is available and per CDC guidance on conservation of PPE.
  • To avoid transmission within nursing homes, facilities should use separate staffing teams for residents to the best of their ability. Nursing homes are urged to work with their State and local leaders to designate separate facilities or units within a facility to separate COVID-19 negative residents from COVID-19 positive residents and individuals with unknown COVID-19 status.
The Notice is available here.
