(Revised October 2022)
We take all necessary and required measures to protect our residents and staff while providing a safe opportunity for socialization and visitation.
We welcome indoor visits at all times and with all residents in each of our living settings, except for individual circumstances due to a high risk of COVID-19 transmission. If such circumstances affect a loved one, family members will be notified.
While visiting, please continue to follow all infection control and prevention measures set forth by the CDC for the type of facility you’re visiting. We must continue to limit the risk of disease transmission and keep all residents and employees safe.
- All visitors need to follow guidance posted at building entrances.
- We encourage guests to visit within the resident room or apartment with the door closed. Guests should stay at least six feet from others, except the one with whom they are visiting.
- We ask you to enter only the areas of the building required for your visit.
- You may eat in the resident’s room or apartment, but we cannot serve meals to families. You may bring meals and snacks as appropriate for your loved one’s diet. The resident’s door should be closed while visiting and eating together.
- If you need additional chairs or tables for your visit, please let us know by email or call 218-998-1500 and we’ll assist you.

Pioneer Pointe is welcoming visitors. When you arrive, you will need to follow guidance posted at the building entrance before proceeding to the tenant’s home. Guests are asked to confine visits to their host’s apartment and limit their time in common areas of the building.
Visitors will need to adhere to infection prevention control and safety practices to enter the living setting. Visitors who choose not to follow these practices may be asked not to visit.
Do Not Enter: You may not visit if you are experiencing any of the following: sore throat, cough, or shortness of breath; fever or chills; chest pain, muscle or body aches; flu-like symptoms including respiratory or GI-related; loss of taste or sense of smell. If you have been around an individual who has confirmed COVID-19, is waiting for results of a COVID-19 test, or if anyone in your house is ill with the above symptoms, you may not enter.
Facemasks: Residents will wear a mask as tolerated, and visitors will wear a mask over both their nose and mouth when the CDC has determined the local community transmission level is high. Masks are optional when community levels are determined as substantial, moderate, or low. Masks are available at the building’s entrance.
Hand Hygiene: Visitors will perform hand hygiene before walking through the building. Alcohol-based hand rub is available for visitors. Signs throughout the building remind us to practice good hand hygiene.
Limited Visitor Movement in Building: The visitor must take a direct path to the resident’s room or living unit. Please practice physical distancing between yourself and others. For residents with roommates, visits will be done outside the room as often as possible.
Number of Visitors: Should be limited to ensure adequate physical distancing.
Sharing of Food or Drink: Due to risk of exposure when removing a mask, dining with residents or other sharing of food and drink is not permitted, except within the resident’s room.
