Visitor testing is required in Nursing Homes, Homes for the Aged (HFAs), and Adult Foster Care homes (AFCs) licensed to serve 13 or more individuals. Visitor testing is not required in AFCs licensed to serve 12 or fewer individuals, unlicensed Assisted Living facilities, Hospice facilities, and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Residential facilities.

Compassionate Care visits are those for residents in serious/critical condition, or in hospice care, including end of life visits. For types of visits requiring testing, facilities must require visitors to be tested within 72 hours before visiting and show proof of negative test results upon entry. Contact the facility for more information about on-site and community testing options.

Different rules apply to special categories of visitors, such as medical providers and those providing assistance with activities of daily living. See the Residential Care Special Cases Guidance for more information.
