COVID-19 Community Update from Beacon Hill Villa, May 28-2021

Warm wishes to all Beacon Hill Villa friends and family!

This week’s community update will be short but sweet.

Activities such as bowling and bingo have been the highlights of this week, and it is with much success that the outdoor gnome garden has finally been completed! Residents participated in the painting and decoration of bird houses and other garden themed objects, and got the chance to choose where their little gnome house is placed within the garden. Now will we be shifting focus to the creation of the fairy garden in another location of the patio!

UPDATE on how visit scheduling will be handled from now on.

All requests for a visit between visitors and residents will be booked by the HCSW (Health Care Support Worker) team. Visitors will contact the HCSW team either by phone or email, and will need to provide two choices of days for visiting times in the event that one day becomes unsuitable for either parties. Voicemails and emails will be responded to within 24 hours.

Any and all questions can be directed to the HSCW team at:

T: 250-383-5447 ext. 242

Or by email at bhv-screener@retirementconcepts.com

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
• 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.

Take care and stay safe,

Beacon Hill Villa Team
