Connecting with your resident during COVID-19

As part of its COVID-19/Coronavirus preparedness efforts, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the State of Wisconsin, is requiring all Wisconsin skilled nursing facilities to no longer accept visitors. Please review our visitor restrictions before coming to the facility.

If you have a loved one in the nursing home, there are a few ways that you can still communicate with them. Send an eCard, use FaceTime or other mobile media to contact your resident, or send your resident extra cards in the mail. Contact the Recreation and Activity Department at Fair View (608-847-1290) to make arrangements for your resident.
