Protocols

We continue to follow the direction of our public health officials to the letter and have full infection prevention and control precautions in place. Staff continue to monitor residents closely and are ensuring the following protocols are being adhered to:

• ensuring no staff member is working in multiple facilities
• care staff are removing outside clothing and footwear before entering the premises
• staff are screened for their temperature upon entrance to the building, and midway through their shift
• social distancing is occurring among residents in each community, including during mealtimes
• appropriate application and removal of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the use of individual slings (cloth component of a personal lift).
• ensuring ongoing, environmental cleaning and increased frequency of high touch surfaces in order to break the chain of infection
• staff and residents are committed to regular/proper hand hygiene to break the chain of infection, by washing their hands with soap and water and applying hand sanitizer.

Daily Assessments

Daily assessments of the residents continue – including temperature checks and well being.

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.

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:

1. Practice social 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 second 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.

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)
