July 25, 2022 Update:

All Brooks Rehabilitation locations are open for business. We ask all our employees, patients and guests to remain vigilant. Staff, patients and visitors who have COVID-19, symptoms of COVID-19 or currently meet the criteria for quarantine, should not enter any of our facilities.

Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital:

• Patients can now have unlimited visitors. We ask that only two visitors are in a patient room at a time to help reduce congestion.
• The Healing Garden and Pond are great locations for larger groups to visit.

Learn more about our visitation policy.

Brooks Outpatient Clinics:

• It is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that patients and visitors continue to wear masks while in our outpatient clinics but it is no longer mandatory.
  • This is based on CDC guidance on when to wear a mask. The counties we serve are all medium to low positivity rates at this time.
• EMPLOYEES who are patient facing are still REQUIRED to wear a masks due to CDC recommendations for healthcare workers and Brooks’ Infection Prevention standards.
• If employees, patients or visitors are sick – they should not come to work or attend therapy.
• We will continue to monitor the environment and will provide updates when policies or procedures change.

Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living and Green House Residences:

We are currently allowing Required Visitation which means “a facility must facilitate in person visitation consistent with CMS guidelines”. Please visit the website below: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-39-nh-revised.pdf.

• We strongly encourage limiting the time and visits with your loved ones in our facilities for their safety and yours.
• Masks are required when entering the facility and encouraged when visiting your loved one in the room. Visitors must remain in the patient/resident’s room throughout the visit.
