Harmony Court Estate – Community Updates and Visitation Guidelines

We are pleased to share that Fraser Health has scheduled the Second Dose Vaccine Clinic at AgeCare Harmony Court for Wednesday, June 9, 2021!

Second doses are critical in protecting against COVID-19. While a single dose of vaccine offers at least 80 percent protection against severe outcomes, including hospitalization and death, the second dose provides further protection and, most importantly, provides long-lasting protection against the virus.

As British Columbia moves towards Step 1 in the Restart Plan, we are beginning to plan and work towards opening up some much-missed spaces like our fitness room, library and games centre. We will announce more details as soon as we can.

Thank you for your patience around visitation. We are so happy to share that we can now accept bookings for visitors to come and visit their loved ones in their suites, indoors in the glass atrium area or outside of our building.

Guidelines to ensure a safe visit

  • All visits must be booked in advance. Contact Dana or reception at 604-527-3300 or hcreception@agecare.ca
  • Even the slightest symptom could be COVID-19. Be honest with how you are feeling - if you’re questioning a symptom, play it safe and stay home
  • All visitors will be screened before entering the building
  • Maximum of 2 adults and 1 child per visit
  • One pet per visit is welcome provided that it is house trained, behaved, leashed, and shows no signs of illness
  • Use all appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during your visit and practice hand hygiene and physical distancing
  • Given the increased risk around eating and drinking – no outside food or beverages are allowed during your indoor visits.

Indoor Visit - Resident Suites

  • Timing: Between 8:00 am – 10:30 am and 3:30 pm – 7:00 pm to help with hallway traffic.

Outdoor Visit: Front of Building

  • Timing: 1-hour visits to allow for others to enjoy the space

Virtual Visits

Recreation & Activities

Our recreation team is working hard to create engaging activities that enrich the mind, body and spirit. We are taking a measured, phased approach to recreation activities. Each week we will be reassessing how these are going and make any adjustments that may be required.

In both Harmony Court Estate (Independent Living) and the Care Centre (Long Term Care), we are cohorting residents into groups. They may enjoy the activities with the same residents each time. All cohort recreation programs will involve no touching of each other or shared objects.

During all interactions, staff continue to practice exceptional hand hygiene, wear Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), and are using extreme diligence in enhanced cleaning and disinfecting procedures.
