October 16, 2020 Update:
We remain focused on ways to keep everyone safe during the global COVID-19 pandemic while providing excellent care and service for our patients, residents and families. We continue to collaborate with our acute partners and recently launched a citywide “wear a mask campaign.”
All Brooks Rehabilitation locations are open for business. Masks must be worn at all times when inside our facilities. We are also continuing our current universal masking, screening, hand hygiene and temperature monitoring processes.
Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital
For the safety of our patients and staff, two people can be authorized to visit a Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital patient. These visitors should be designated in advance by the patient/family prior to the hospital admission. Their names will be on a daily report utilized by the front desk. Only one visitor is allowed at a time to help with social distancing in elevators and patient’s rooms. To protect all patients and prevent the spread of COVID-19, visitors are required to wear a mask at all times, including in the patient rooms. For complete guidelines, please click here.
Brooks Bartram Campus (Bartram Crossing, Bartram Lakes, The Green House Residences)
All of our Bartram campus facilities are currently under the general visitation rule as outlined in the State’s Emergency Order and will be following that criteria:
Please note: At any point, a facility may shift between allowing General Visitation to allowing only Essential/Compassionate caregivers, depending on the length of time since the facility last had a COVID-19 positive patient, resident or staff member. Our facilities will know on any given day which visitation rules apply. Restrictions for Compassionate Visitation Guidelines are more stringent than for General Visitation.
