Overview
To allow as many people as possible to enjoy these visits we ask that you schedule your visit a few days and even up to a week in advance. At this time one (1) Through Window Visit can be scheduled per resident per week.
Chapin Home must continue to adhere to both the Department of Health and CDC guidance around visitation and infection prevention. Visits will be slotted for no longer than 30 minutes to allow for cleaning/disinfecting the area for the next visit.
We hear your heart wish to see your loved one and thank you in advance for understanding the need to be diligent in our efforts to keep your family member and the Chapin Home staff safe. Please read the Important Visiting Information below.
Looking forward to seeing.
Important Visiting Information
Please Note: As the volume of visitors increases at Chapin, we have determined that we will no longer be able to provide access to bathroom facilities to anyone attending scheduled visits. The obligation to sanitize these common spaces in between every use is a burden Chapin Home cannot reasonably accept at this time. Thank you for your understanding – and make sure you go before you arrive!
