COVID-19 Update
As of Tuesday, March 1, Albertans can choose to be mask-free in most settings, however, masks are still required in high-risk settings such as continuing care homes, and on public transit. Other restrictions that have been lifted in Alberta include:
Limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings,
Requirements for schools and sports and entertainment venues, and
As per the latest order from the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH), our continuous masking and current Visitor Guidelines remain in effect until further notice.
Remember! Help us limit potential exposure to COVID by only visiting with your loved one – not in group settings.
If the absence is greater than 24 hours, fully vaccinated residents will be:
screened for symptoms for 10 days.
If the resident develops symptoms, the resident will be immediately be placed on contact and droplet isolation and their family will be notified.
Not Fully Vaccinated Residents
If the absence is greater than 24 hours, residents who are not fully vaccinated will need to wear a mask for 10 days in common areas, except when eating or drinking. Medical masks will be provided.
In addition, the resident will be:
screened for symptoms for 10 days, and
rapid antigen screened on days 1, 3 and 7.
Note: Residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 21 days will not be required to be rapid antigen screened to prevent false positives.
If any rapid antigen screening result returns as positive for COVID-19 or the resident develops symptoms, the resident will be placed on contact and droplet isolation and their family will be notified.
Vaccine effectiveness against infection may decline over time – especially with the highly transmissible Omicron variant – but they remain the best way to prevent severe illness and death. Additional doses can boost immunity to improve protection and limit spread.
Who can book?
Anyone over the age of 18, five months after your second dose.
Our recreation team works hard to create engaging activities that enrich the mind, body and spirit. We are continuously looking for ways to reduce the risk of transmission while having the least impact on our residents’ well-being.
For our NEW AgeCare communities from Revera, your Family Portal is still available to you to access your loved one’s activitypro page. You can login with your usual username and password at online.activitypro.net/users/login/agecare.
