These masks have been handed out to our residents and they are so appreciateive. The masks come in various colours as shown below as well as the fabulous red one worn in the salon photo in last week’s email.

Dropping Items Off:
Just a reminder when dropping off items:
- 10am to 2pm
- Please use plastic bags, no reusable bags.
- Make sure to label all bags with resident name and room number.
- Please limit drop offs to essential items. There are days when staff are overwhelmed trying to keep up.
Once items are dropped off they are sanitized and delivered to the suites.
Reminders for your loved one to Stay Safe:
Again, the following four points are so critical to discuss with your loved ones. Please help us by reminding each resident daily of the following four items:
- Practice social distancing (6 feet apart)
- Perform proper Hand Hygiene (Wash hands frequently for 20 seconds with the alcohol-based sanitizer or soap and hot water) 20 second or greater is so important.
- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
- If exhibiting any symptoms (fever, cough and difficulty breathing) please alert staff immediately.
As always, we thank you for your patience and understanding during these trying times.
Thank You and Stay Healthy!
The Leadership Team at Langley Seniors Village (LSV)
