COVID-19 Community Update from Beacon Hill Villa, October 3, 2020

Welcome fall! It’s the harvest season with squash, corn, apples and so much more downstairs in BHV’s kitchen!

We are very excited about October because down in the kitchen we are brewing up some fun meals for you!  We have special meals planned for Oktoberfest, Thanksgiving (turkey roast with all the trimmings) and Halloween! We also have some fun National Food Days up our sleeves: National pasta day, National mushroom day, National Chocolate Cupcake Day & National Bologna Day.

Recreation has been working with elections BC to plan a safe alternative to this upcoming snap election for our residents here at BHV. The recreation team will be facilitating mail in voting for residents who are interested in participating. Please contact Kassandra (kkeszthelyi@retirementconcepts.com/ 250-419-6826) if you have any questions.

As BHV moves forward with in person visits, we are offering scheduled alternating week visits at a time & date that works for you (once every two weeks)   OR   weekly visits which fit into our pre-set schedule calling out free spots about 3 days prior to availability. Recreation has gotten in contact with most of the designated visitors, please email kkeszthelyi@retirementconcepts.com or call 250-419-6826 if you have not been contacted.

As things will look a bit different, here is a summary of what to expect when you visit:

• There will be designated parking: ambulance parking is in front
• Please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment
• Staff will greet you outside the front door
• Come down to rec/kitchen stairs, and be screened before you enter
• Visits will be in the recreation area. Outdoor patio visits are encouraged. There is an indoor space if required.
• Sanitize hands and wear a surgical grade masks. Required personal protective equipment will be provided by BHV.
• Visits will be approx. 40 minutes in duration.

In order to maximize our time so all families can benefit from booking a visit quickly:

• Virtual visits will still be offered. However, we are sure they will decrease.
• In person visits will take the place of fence visits.
• We have a 48-hour cancellation policy, and can easily reschedule you.
