Although these changes are effective tomorrow, Friday, July 16, 2021, we will honour all indoor visits booked up until Sunday, July 18, 2021. Following this, General Indoor Visitors are welcome to come in without an appointment following the above stated guidelines.

Outdoor visits are still encouraged to be scheduled in order for you to have a designated location for your reserved visit. We cannot guarantee an outdoor space will be available without an appointment.

For Vaccine Verification as it relates to testing requirements, we will be introducing a tracking system on Monday July 19, 2021 available at the screening desk and through your Manager/Human Resources Department. Once proof and/or Verification of Full Immunization is established for Essential Caregivers and General Visitors you will receive a Verification Card which you will need to show at each visit to exempt you from testing. For staff we will be providing a unique identifier to attach to your name badge which will exempt you from testing requirements.

For those requiring rapid antigen testing, we will be maintaining the testing on site for the next 2 weeks. Further information will be made available regarding the scheduling of testing and if specific days will be available for onsite testing. We will now be accepting PCR Lab confirmed test results with the test being taken within the last 7 days.

It continues to be important that Residents, family, visitors and staff, adhere to Public Health measures, including good hand hygiene and appropriate masking. There is a need to continue to be vigilant regarding COVID-19, especially with respect to variants of concern (e.g. the Delta variant). The health and safety of our Residents, and the team members who serve them, is our highest priority.
