Dear family members and friends,
There is no new information regarding the COVID-19 situation at Maple Ridge Seniors Village. Please see below for the details that have been previously communicated.
On April 25th we had a staff member test positive for COVID-19. On May 1st Public Health lifted the droplet precautions for all residents that were isolating but we remain on “enhanced monitoring” in our Residential Care.
We continue to follow all directions from Public Health and we will update you as soon as our status is changed.
No residents have any COVID-19 symptoms. All results for resident and staff swabs are negative.
The following protocols are in place:
Residents in our Independent/Assisted Living can continue their day to day routine as usual and have not been asked to remain on site at this time.
Communication
We will provide everyone with a daily email update and will share information as we receive it. Should the condition of any resident change, their family will be notified immediately.
To inquire about facetime/skype or phone calls, please contact our Recreation Department at mrsv-recreation@retirementconcepts.com or call 604-476-4320.
Meal Services
All dining rooms in Residential Care are open but they are using disposables.
The dining room in our Independent/Assisted Living remains open.
Screener Desks
Our priority at this time is the safety of our residents and preventing transmission. In order to further prevent transmission between areas of our building, we have set up two screener desks. The screener desk at the main entrance is for our Independent/Assisted Living and the screener desk in our basement/parkade entrance is for our Residential Care. If you need to pick up something from Residential Care, please enter through our parkade and see the screener desk just inside our basement entrance. During this period of enhanced monitoring we are unable to bring any items from Residential Care through our main lobby in Assisted Living. All outgoing items must come via the basement/parkade.
Deliveries
Deliveries are still being accepted at the screener desk, however we ask that all non-essential deliveries for Residential Care be put on hold until further notice. We will continue to accept all essential deliveries for Residential Care and all deliveries (essential and non-essential) for Independent/Assisted Living.
When dropping items off we ask families to please follow the guidelines below in order to ensure that your loved one gets their deliveries in a timely manner:
All items will be sanitized and delivered directly to the resident’s suites.
We wish to thank staff, residents and families for their cooperation and understanding as we move through the next few days.
Please know that the care and safety of residents is our number one priority, and that we treat this situation very seriously.
The information shared above is the most recent update and there is no other information to share at this time. Unless it is an emergency we ask that you please refrain from calling and allow us to care for your loved one. If it is an emergency, please contact Bianca, our General Manager, at 604-760-2209.
Sincerely,
The Maple Ridge Seniors Village (MRSV) Leadership Team and Staff
