Updated guidance from CMS is applicable at all times for all nursing home residents The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a memo today stating that visitation is now allowed for all nursing home residents at all times.
With full approval and Emergency Use Authorization of COVID-19 vaccines and millions of vaccinations being administered to nursing home residents and staff, CMS, in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is updating its visitation guidance accordingly, but emphasizing the importance of maintaining infection prevention practices. In addition, CMS requires nursing homes to educate residents and staff on the risks and benefits of the vaccines, offer to administer the vaccine, and report resident and staff vaccination data to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network. CMS now posts this information on the CMS COVID-19 Nursing Home Data website along with other COVID-19 data, such as the weekly number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. For full information, see QSO-20-39-NH Revised linked at the CMS website.
