Update:

Current visitation guidelines: https://chcclynden.org/visitation/

Apr. 23, 2024: The Whatcom County Respiratory Virus Transmission rate has remained below the alert threshold for two consecutive weeks. As a result, we are pleased to announce that visitors are no longer required to wear masks if they choose not to. Masks will still be available for those who prefer to wear them.

We ask that any visitors who are feeling unwell or have been exposed to illness refrain from visiting until they are no longer contagious.

Additionally, visitors are again permitted to eat with residents in their rooms, but dining in common areas is not permitted currently. If a resident shares a room, visitors must seek permission from both the resident and their roommate before going unmasked or eating in the room.

This adjustment aims to enhance everyone’s experience while prioritizing safety. Staff will continue wearing masks until further notice.

This Alert page will be updated every Monday (Tuesday if Monday falls on a holiday) if any positive COVID-19 tests were reported in the previous week. If no positive cases were reported during the previous week, the Alert page will not be updated.

CHCC will continue to test all staff and all consenting residents per local, state and federal guidelines. ​All staff members continue to be screened before they start work, and we monitor our residents daily, watching for any signs or symptoms of the virus. Infection control best practices are followed, and appropriate personal protective equipment is worn by all.
