Memory Care Units and Alzheimer’s Certified Units  Infection prevention strategies to prevent the spread of communicable diseases are  especially challenging to implement in dedicated memory care units and Alzheimer’s  certified units where numerous residents with cognitive impairment reside together.   These residents can have a difficult time following recommended infection  prevention practices.  Changes to resident routines, disruptions in daily schedules, use of unfamiliar  equipment, or working with unfamiliar caregivers can lead to fear and anxiety,  resulting in increased depression and behavioral changes such as agitation,  aggression, or wandering. We follow recommended guidance from the CDC for  considerations regarding residents with dementia, in memory care or Alzheimer’s  certified units.  Salon Services Visitors  Sodalis can allow a salon services visitor (barber, beautician, or cosmetologist  providing hair care or personal grooming services to a resident) to enter the facility  to provide hair care or personal grooming services.  The salon requirements for salon visits.  Inform the salon services visitor of applicable policies, procedures, and  requirements;  Maintain documentation of the salon services visitor’s agreement to follow policies, procedures and requirements;  Maintain documentation of the salon services.  Document the identity of each salon services visitor in the facility’s records;  authority, that is more restrictive than this rule the community in that area will abide  by that rule.  Immunization/Illness Policies  Residents that become ill may still have visitors of any age, but their visitors will be  encouraged to wear PPE but is not mandatory depending on the illness.
