Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year Everyone! Welcome to our latest updates at Kamloops Seniors Village! The first week of 2021 has had the river valley fog lift into some gorgeous sunny days. First, thank you again for everyone’s support during our home’s staff COVID-19 exposure over the New Year. This occurrence showed that our protocols and procedures are working & prevented transmission. And secondly, thank you again to our KSV HealthCare Heroes for showing up and caring for our residents & tenants during this past week.

With the continuing increase in Covid 19 numbers, especially in the Lower Mainland and other health authorities, restrictions will remain in effect for our tenants and residents and families.  We will be continuing to follow the direction of our provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, and our general NO VISITOR policy remains in place.

Please check out our most recent updates/changes:

You, as family members play a key role in the continuing success of this Visitation Plan.  As we all work together to closely follow Health Authority protocols, should any family member not adhere to the safety parameters that we have in place, they will be asked to leave.

Window Visits are continuing with the same following guidelines:

  1. Please plan visits with a limit of up to 6 people (window Visits only)
  2. No open windows, please use telephones
  3. For all residents in Complex Care, window visits can still be safely scheduled and supported through the care staff.

Recreation Program

Our Complex Care residents’ eyes lit up opening their Secret Santa gifts on Christmas Day, and our Independent & Assisted Living tenants thoroughly enjoyed their Wine & Cheese special deliveries on Christmas Eve.

We are continuing to provide scheduled virtual visits for residents & tenants. Please reach out to Erica Buckingham, Recreation Manager by e-mail at ebuckingham@retirementconcepts.com or call 250.571.2958 to set up a time via Skype or FaceTime. We will be happy to confirm a date and time to connect you with your loved-one.

Deliveries and Drop-offs:

All deliveries will continue to be received at the front desk and will be sanitized, bagged and we will call the tenants to come and pick up their items right away.  Please ensure you label all items with name and room number to ensure all packages are received as quickly as possible.

Reminders for your loved one to Stay Safe:

Please help us by reminding each resident daily of the following four items:

  1. Practice social/physical distancing (6 feet apart)
  2. Perform proper Hand Hygiene (Wash hands frequently for 20 seconds with the alcohol-based sanitizer or soap and hot water) 20 seconds or greater is so important.
  3. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
  4. If exhibiting any symptoms (fever, cough and difficulty breathing) please alert staff immediately.

 We want to thank everyone for their cooperation and patience during these ever-changing circumstances.  We sincerely wish you all a healthy and prosperous year ahead in 2021!
