Vaccination Update
We are pleased to share that our long-term care residents will be receiving their second dose of vaccine tomorrow! This is a huge step in the right direction to returning to how life was before the COVID-19 pandemic. We will share a dose date for our Estate residents as soon as we are notified.
The vaccine is so welcome, and we thank all the residents and families for helping by providing consent for its use. There are still many unanswered questions about the vaccine, especially whether or not it will need to be given again in the future. We thank you, though, for your cooperation and support. Please remember while we are on the right path, we are not out of the woods yet. We must be committed to following public health guidance for the next several months.
This has been an incredibly challenging time for everyone. We want to thank residents and their families who have sent messages, letters, and made phone calls wishing us well and commending our teams on the care and attention during this time. It is these communications that our teams so cherish, appreciate and encourage us to keep going.
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.
