Lone Tree residents are allowed only outdoor and virtual visits. The modified visitation restrictions do not apply to the family of residents’ in compassionate care situations.

As of today, Monday, August 30, 2021, and until further notice, only outdoor and virtual visits are permitted at Lone Tree Retirement Center. Visitors must call ahead to arrange an outdoor or virtual visit between the hours of 8 am through 8 pm. However inclement weather conditions or a resident’s health status may hinder the possibility of an outdoor visit. Upon arrival, all visitors must go through a screening process which includes a temperature check, symptom check, and a COVID-19 exposure history questionnaire.
