Hello Family and Friends,
We hope you are all staying safe and healthy during these times.
This communication is to inform you that one of our staff members has tested positive to COVID-19. Here are the important facts we have, and want to share with you all.
The staff member’s last day on site was Tuesday October, 27. They were asymptomatic while they were on site, and they are currently at home, in isolation, and still showing no symptoms.
We have notified the Fraser Health Authority and will follow the Protocols and direction of Fraser Health Authority, the BC health regulator who licenses us to provide the care that your family member receives from us.
No residents or staff members have any COVID symptoms.
All essential and social visits are cancelled, and all group activities are on hold until we know more. We will revise our programming as appropriate to try to ensure your loved one still has some social stimulation through this period while we await further direction.
We request and strongly encourage all of our Independent and Assisted Living residents to remain on site at this time. Medically necessary appointments can be made, however it is imperative that you inform the medical office you are attending that you are coming from an Outbreak Community.
