To all Family Members:
Thank you to all of the families for your support and patience with us while we work hard to keep all of your loved ones safe from COVID-19.
Status Update
The families of the eight residents who were in contact with a COVID+ staff member continue to be communicated with on a regular basis about the status of their loved ones. We have received lab results on the last two swabs and both were negative. The families have been informed. All of the eight residents continue to remain on isolation.
All other 147 residents present NO COVID-19 signs or symptoms.
Communication
We continue to communicate with all families via e-mail. We will also continue to call family members of the eight directly impacted residents, by phone – on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Friday’s. If there are any changes between these calls, families will be updated immediately.
We continue to post daily updates on the Retirement Concepts Website and Facebook Page.
We are working closely with our Corporate Office and Fraser Health Authority to ensure that appropriate care requirements are met.
