EXTENDED FAMILY VISITATION: 

EOCC realizes that some travel far to visit and support their loved ones. To help mitigate this issue, Residents can request an extended visit of one (1) hour every 30 days if the following conditions are met: 

• Visitors travel for more than one hour to visit.
• The Visitor has documented work hours prohibiting consistent visits during regular hours.
• Transportation issues.
