COVID-19 FAQs

  • Diligent hand hygiene continues to be the most effective way to stop the spread of coronavirus and other germs. All Insight facilities are equipped with multiple hand sanitizer stations and staff and patients are encouraged to use them regularly. We also recommend washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to clean your hands, whenever possible.
  • Our staff is instructed to follow exceptional hand hygiene practices, but we also encourage our patients to remind staff to sanitize their hands before they receive care as an additional level of protection.
  • In order to maintain social distancing, family and visitors are asked to wait in their vehicles or in the surrounding area while their loved one is visiting one of our locations. If a patient requires an overnight stay, we encourage them to bring a smart device capable of making video calls. This is a safe and efficient way to connect to your support system and include them in your care.
  • Even with the CDC’s recent announcement regarding lessening mask-wearing, Insight still requires all staff and visitors to be wearing a mask while in our facility.
