We celebrate the health of our community, with prioritized infection control ensured during designated visitor experiences within the community. There is tremendous respect for the patience of all GSV community members during July, and we mindfully welcome one visitor designate per resident, and the devotion, skill and caring of all essential staff.
As new visitation process begins, please note some of the key aspects:
- Family/social visits are limited to a maximum of one family member or friend at a time as space, time and health permits
- Our priority is protecting residents, so we are taking a cautious and phased approach. Initially, residents will be able to visit with one designated family member or friend in July in a designated area.
- We hope to expand this process in future months, but that decision will be guided by provincial health officials
- all visits must be booked in advance to allow us to safely proceed & accommodate scheduled visitors, with infection controls in effect.
