COVID-19 Information & Policy

We take the health/safety of our clients, providers and business partners seriously. Therefore, we've adopted a COVID-19 (Coronavirus/SARS CoV-2 and related airborne illness) Policy. Please review this Policy carefully, as its acceptance is a condition of Services.

This Policy sets forth measures for the prevention/mitigation of COVID-19 and related illnesses in the conduct of our business. We have established this Policy in conformity with the COVID-19 guidelines/recommendations of the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as in effect as of 8/1/22 and upon which this Policy exclusively relies.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 guidelines and recommendations are located at: https://www.cdc.gov/.

All with whom we conduct business (including, but not limited to Clients, customers, providers, facility staff/personnel or others) are subject to this Policy. It is the individual responsibility of each party to comply with CDC guidelines, review applicable/relevant state/local guidelines, if mandated, to determine the level of conduct required for compliance in the specific locality where services are to be delivered, and to meet/exceed CDC/State/Local Guideline Standards in effect when Services are rendered.

Facilities/Venues

Meriatrics LLC and its Service providers are subject to the COVID (or other related infectious disease) policies of facilities/venues where Services may be delivered, including but not limited to nursing homes, medical facilities, senior residences and other locations. Clients (their guardian/legally responsible party) understand and agree to any rescheduling or cancellation of Services, as may be required in accordance with this Policy.

Meriatrics LLC and its Service providers reserve the right to refuse, modify, cancel, postpone and/or reschedule services if, in their sole opinion, doing so is warranted for the potential health/safety of others. We may also change/modify this Policy at any time, for any reason.

COVID-19 (and related illnesses) can pose serious health risks. While this Policy is intended to help mitigate virus spread, we are unable to make any guarantees that you or others will not become exposed/infected. Parties subject to this Policy accept all inherent risks and acknowledge that all risks incurred or suffered are personally/individually assumed, and not the responsibility of Meriatrics LLC.

Thank you. Your understanding and compliance are greatly appreciated.
