COVID-19 Precautionary Information
UMH follows guidance from local, state, and federal agencies which has allowed for the loosening of restrictions on our campuses. Our facilities have reintroduced communal programs and activities, such as dining, recreation, and wellness. Visitation and all activities have been ongoing within the safety requirements and guidelines set forth.
In accordance with CMS and DOH guidance, we are following all infection control measures recommended by the CDC, so that we may continue to keep our residents and staff safe from Covid-19 or other infectious diseases. The health, safety, and well-being of our residents and staff remain our number one priority.
When any campus experiences an outbreak of Covid-19, such information is posted so that visitors can make an informed decision about visitation. Visitation is no longer restricted during such times; however, safety precautions are implemented.
