The Premier made several exciting announcements last week for Long term care.
Indoor visits for families and residents was the highlight of the announcement.
As always, our number one priority is the safety of our residents and staff. Our residents are among the most vulnerable of our population.
We need to plan and prepare for these indoor visits, we need time to do this safely. Therefore, we will not be opening for visits on July 22, 2020 as was announced by the Premier. Please be patient with us as we plan and ensure we keep everyone safe. We will be scheduling indoor visits beginning Monday, July 27, 2020.
