Stanford Seniors Village Community Update November 19, 2020
To Our Extended Family,
There continues to be no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 in any of our residents/tenants or staff here at Stanford Seniors Village, and for that we are very grateful. Should the status of our Community change in any respect, please know that we will immediately contact families.
We know that seeing the number of Covid -19 cases rise in the province and here on the island it is concerning but please know we are doing everything we can to keep Covid-19 out of our community. We are working together as a team to ensure we follow safe protocols for visitation and we are following the Ministry of Health and Island Health’s recommendations. Our team has also worked hard to make sure we have adequate PPE supplies and that all staff are trained on usage and best practices.
Social Visits:
We would like to thank those of you who have had a chance to visit loved ones, for following our protocols to help maintain everyone’s safety. These protocols are set forth by the health authorities and we must adhere to them or visitations can be cancelled.
