Ø All guests must inform Creekside of the type of visit you will be requesting. All visits must be scheduled. We prefer that this correspondence comes via the CreeksideVisitation@mrcaff.orgemail, but you can also call the front desk to schedule your appointment at (936)439-4700.

Ø You are only able to schedule 1 week at a time.  Visitation hours have been expanded to 9am to 7pm, 7 days a week.  

Ø All guests must pass the screening and temperature check at the front desk or entrance into Creekside will be denied.  

Ø There is no longer a requirement for visitors to be Covid-19 tested or show proof of being Covid-19 negative, however, Creekside will continue to offer testing to visitors upon request to help reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19.  We continue to recommend testing.  

Essential Visitors:

Ø These visits are not restricted based on resident Covid-19 status or community Covid-19 status.  

Ø Essential Visitors must have completed the required training and Essential Visitor contract prior to the first visit.

Ø The two named Essential Caregivers may now visit at the same time.

Ø Essential Visitors must be 18 years or older.

Ø These visits are permitted outdoors or in the resident’s room.

Personal Visits:

Ø  Personal visits are permitted with Covid-19 Negative residents only.

Ø  Personal visits are not restricted to essential caregivers.
