Visitor
Per the BC Centre for Disease Control, and Provincial Health Order directive, there are currently two categories of visitors for Retirement Communities, Essential Visitors & Designated Visitors for Social Visits.
Essential Visitors provide visits for compassionate care and/or are paramount to the patient/client’s physical care and mental well-being. The Health Authority or Facility staff will determine if a visit is essential. Whereas, Designated Visitors are for social occasion visits, and under these guidelines, each resident is permitted to have ONE designated visitor with bookings made in advance.

Below is a sample of a few choices of dinners that our residents have options to choose from that always include main entrée, starch option & 2 veggies.
This week we look forward to: Turkey Kiev Meatballs served with jasmine rice and sweet snap peas & savory carrots, Lemon Thyme Chicken with potato wedges au gratin, & sautéed Red Peppers & seasoned spinach, Honey Garlic Chicken served with creamy mashed potatoes & minted peas & seasoned diced turnip, and Butter Garlic Baked Salmon.
We are so grateful to our talented culinary team for providing us all with warm comfort foods. And best of all, we do all the cooking and clean up the dishes.

A big thank you to everyone for working so hard to keep Rosemary Heights safe and healthy, as well as for the kindness, understanding and support that has been shown.
A little chuckle for you today:
Has anyone else’s gardening skills improved during quarantine like mine have?
I planted myself on the couch at the beginning of March and I’ve grown significantly since!
Stay Safe, stay calm, & stay kind.
Take care, and let’s take care of each other.
