Masks are required for non-fully vaccinated individuals until June 28, 2021 or when 70% of residents age 18 and older are fully vaccinated. whichever comes first.  Also, effective Monday, May 31, 2021, capacity restrictions are no longer in force.  

There are no current regulations that place any further restrictions on the type of service or final disposition a family may choose.

Therefore, we are adhering to the following policies
