COVID-19 Update
While some provinces are expediting plans to lift public restrictions, BC continues to take a conservative approach to reopen the province.
Last week, capacity restrictions were lifted for all personal gatherings, events, fitness centres, and sports activities. However, the masking mandate and proof of vaccination remain in effect.
Rules relating to long-term care visitors also remain in effect, including continuous masking for staff and visitors. The easing of these restrictions will be addressed at a later date as the province monitors health and hospitalization trends.
Visitor Guidelines
Visitor restrictions remain in place in all BC Long Term Care homes.
How wonderful to note that BC has proclaimed March 1st as BC Seniors' Care Provider Day! We love that the province is shining a spotlight on those who devote time and energy to seniors.
At AgeCare, we know how much heart and soul goes into caring for our dear seniors, and we celebrate the positive outcome of these loyal efforts. Now, care providers are getting a well-deserved ‘proclaim’ to fame! Cheers and hats off to the exceptional care providers in our communities!
