Dear families and dear friends,
We want to assure you that our priority at all times is the health of our residents and employees. We owe it to ourselves at all costs and without exception to ensure that this objective is achieved. We are all exhausted from Covid-19 but with the arrival of the variants, and the situation in our region, we still have to adjust to keep the nursing home safe.
Family visits will return by appointments only from tomorrow September 16, 2021 for a period of 2 weeks. Visits will be scheduled from Monday to Friday (except holidays) and will be from 2 pm to 3:30 pm.
Two family members can come at the same time and can alternate for the next visit. In addition, we will have to stop visits if a resident is due to be tested for Covid-19 or if a resident has tested positive for Covid-19.
To make an appointment, contact the recreation department at 532-4484 ext. 309. Please give us 2 business days to return the call, as the volume of calls is high.
During your visits, you must always respect the staff’s instructions since compliance with regulations is essential to avoid contamination of residents. If you do not follow the instructions, we may need to ask you to leave and cancel your visits.
• Wash your hands with alcohol gel as soon as you enter the home.
• We will provide you with a surgical mask to wear throughout the visit.
• You will have to answer a symptom screening questionnaire.
• You will need to keep a physical distance of 2 meters from other residents and their families.
• Respect the place assigned to you for visiting your family member, no traffic in the home will be permitted
• Respect the time of your appointment and the visiting time that will be granted to you. Please arrive 15 minutes in advance for the screening.
• Do not visit if you have symptoms of Covid-19.
• Do not visit if you have been in contact with a person who tested positive for Covid-19.
• Do not visit if you have been tested in the past 14 days
