COVID-19
NDHC continues to follow all recommendations and provide resources and support to reduce the impacts of COVID-19 in our communities. General public guidance often differs from healthcare and congregate living setting guidance.
Current guidance is posted at entrances and throughout the facility.
Visitors
-
Facemasks are recommended but not required unless otherwise posted at entrances. Disposable masks are available at the screening desk. Anyone with upper respiratory conditions (runny nose, sneezing, etc...) should wear a facemask during their visit.
-
All public entrances are now open for visitors to use. Screening for symptoms prior to a visit is not required.
-
Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 or other respiratory infections including but not limited to cough, fever, or congestion should delay their visit to residents or patients.
-
Any visitor who has tested positive for COVID 19 within the past 10 days are restricted from visiting until symptoms have improved and they are 10 days past a positive test.
Vaccinations
Vaccination remains one of the best ways to prepare the human body for potential and inevitable exposure. Although breakthrough infections are notably happening, staying up-to-date with vaccination gives your immune system a head start should you contract COVID-19.
-
NDHC offers vaccinations to eligible individuals. Call 701-587-6900 to schedule.
