Daily Communication Update – Nov 13

 

There is no change in status today. Only one staff has tested positive, and there are no new cases.

All residents and staff in our SLU unit are currently being swabbed as a safety precaution measure only.  All residents in our SLU unit have also been asked to quarantine in their rooms until we have received the swabs results.  Tray service will be provided during this time.  This should take no longer than 2 or 3 days.

Until advised by the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) and the Alberta Health Services (AHS) Outbreak Management team, we remain on outbreak status.  We continue to operate under our outbreak protocols, monitor the situation very closely, and meet regularly with the MOH and the AHS Outbreak Management team.

 

To ensure we are doing everything possible to prevent any spread of the virus, the following precautions remain in place:

Please note: If we have confirmed cases of the respiratory flu, those residents will be on contact and droplet isolation.

 

A designated family/support persons and/or essential visitor is defined as:

  1. The resident’s decision maker (agent), a family member, friend or companion.
  2. Visits where the resident’s quality of life and/or care needs cannot be met without the designated essential visitor’s assistance.
  3. The designated essential visitor may enter and can approve others, including the resident’s family, their religious leader(s), a child (under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult), and their friends to enter, so long as only up to two visitors enter the facility at a time and must remain in the resident’s room.

 

Please call the reception at 403-207-2929 to book your essential visit and to provide a list of designated family/support persons and/or essential visitors to add to our tracking list.

 

 

Thank you for all your support.
