The Importance of Being Immunized: Influenza
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a serious concern, we are also preparing for the increased spread of another virus: influenza, more commonly known as the flu.
Flu cases were low last year because we were in a province-wide lockdown. This year, however, more people are socializing in-person, commuting to work, travelling, and being out and about in the community.
This means we will likely see an increase of all viruses compared to last year, including COVID-19 and the flu.
To help protect our residents, who are most at risk of experiencing serious complications due to the influenza virus, we hosted flu clinics at all of our sites. We encourage you and your families to help keep yourselves and our residents safe and healthy by booking your free flu shot this year.
Visitation guidelines are in effect requiring all eligible persons over the age of 12 to be fully vaccinated.
Communities with an exposure or on outbreak may have different restrictions in effect. Contact your community or sign up for email updates to stay informed on the latest information.
Care starts at the door, so please be kind when asked by our greeters to check in. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our visitor guidelines, please contact your General Manager or Administrator directly.
To allow for screening, visiting hours are:
Harmony Court
Daily
9:30 am to 12:00 pm 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Brandt's Creek Mews
Daily 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Cariboo Place Daily 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Our recreation team is working 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 resident well-being.
At this time, visitors are not permitted to attend indoor recreations programming, including concerts. We appreciate your understanding.
