Hello everyone, October 14th, 2020
Thanksgiving dinner on Monday was a hit. There was a lot of positive feedback from our Residents. Our culinary team will did an amazing job cooking up a wonderful Thanksgiving feast!
Flu shots will become available in early November. More information will follow for all residents and staff.
Monthly calendars for Long term care recreation will be reinstated for the month of November. For Assisted Living and Independent Living we are recruiting Recreation Staff with a class 4 license so that we can look at resuming bus trips. (Bus trips will be approved as long as we can follow all CoVid protocols as set out by Island Health)
