Revised Visitation Guidelines

COVID-19 Screening Kiosks at Bethel Lutheran Community

As screening all visitors prior to entering long term care facilities has become the new operational reality, we have changed the screening process at Bethel Lutheran Home and Bethel Suites. We have installed automated screening kiosks which are located at the main entrance of each facility.  The kiosks are able to take a thermal temperature and provide screening questions before allowing entry into the facility.  We will have a staff member available to assist visitors become familiar with the equipment.

We are summarizing  visitation guidelines so you will be prepared for your visit:
