Answers to your COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions

What parameters are used to determine what is considered an outbreak?

Following the guidelines put in place by the Provincial Public Health officials, the definition of an outbreak means one confirmed positive case of COVID 19. This applies to both our staff members and residents within our communities.

If I want to visit my loved one at the community they reside, am I able to and how can I do this?

Our top priority is keeping our residents, their families and our staff members safe. We know it has been difficult on everyone having limitations around how and when you can visit your loved ones. Each community may have slight differences so we encourage you to reach out to our Executive Directors to receive the most up to date status on specific community visitation prior to planning your visit.
