As required by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, visitation of residents at Bethel Lutheran Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is restricted except for certain compassionate care situations, such as end of life. Decisions about visitation during an end of life situation will be made on a case by case basis, after careful screening of the visitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19.
Reason for restriction is Bethel remains in an outbreak status. The definition of an outbreak status according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is one positive resident or staff.
