Forum Extended Care Services has mobilized to prepare for any impact COVID-19 may have on the communities and residents we serve. We are closely monitoring all developments related to the pandemic and guidance from resources including the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), as well as other Federal, state, and local health officials to respond swiftly and appropriately in real-time.
We serve a vulnerable population and, during this of all times, it is critical that we maintain our service levels without compromising the health of our patients, partners, and each other. Published below are links to resources that may prove useful in remaining abreast of this continually-evolving situation.
