Coronavirus (COVID-19) (Updated 5/22/23)

Based on current COVID-19 trends, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ended the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) for COVID-19, declared under Section 319 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, on May 11, 2023.

CCS is still concerned about the ongoing uncertainty and challenges caused by coronavirus (COVID-19). We want to assure you that we are continually monitoring this evolving situation and are following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and other health officials to strengthen our already-stringent operational standards.

CCS will continue the following procedures:

1. No Visitations
2. No onsite family counseling–Telehealth is available
3. All personnel entering our facilities will be screened for COVID or any other sickness symptoms
4. Anyone sick should not come to treatment or if an employee do not come to work
5. Continue to practice sanitation procedures
   • Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer, especially after touching frequently used items or surfaces.
   • Avoid touching your face.
   • Sneeze or cough into a tissue, or the inside of your elbow.
   • Disinfect frequently used items and surfaces as much as possible.
   • Strongly consider using face coverings while in public, particularly when using mass transit., and if presenting cold/allergy symptoms

CCS wants to assure you that we take the health and well-being of our clients, staff, neighbors and community seriously. We are fully operational and are following the CDC guidelines and recommendations.

All clients are screened by phone before coming to treatment, either the residential facility or outpatient locations. They will be screened before coming into the facility for admission. If there are any symptoms present or there are concerns from the questions on the screening form, clients will be asked to reschedule their admission to treatment after they have tested negative for COVID and the Flu or after a period that the Medical Director determines is safe for them to be readmitted. If no symptoms or concerns the client will be admitted. We are being very strict to protect our clients and staff.                                               

Supervisors on every shift are monitoring staff to ensure there are no active symptoms and staff are required to disclose if they have traveled out of the area or been close to anyone that has tested positive for COVID19. Currently our staff have the option to wear a mask and clients will be required to wear a mask if they are having any COVID symptoms.

Feel free to call us and see what we are doing to remain safe during this COVID19 Pandemic.

PEOPLE WHO FEEL SICK SHOULD STAY HOME

• Do not go to work.
• Contact and follow the advice of your medical provider.
