Visitor Policies
As a family-owned company, we understand the importance of residents continuing to be able to connect with their families and friends.

Your support and understanding regarding our visitation policies is a key component in keeping our residents and employees safe.
Outbreak Management
Our homes have developed a comprehensive outbreak management program in consultation with our community partners, staff, residents, residents’ council, and family council (if applicable) and family members that is compliant with the regulatory requirements and IPAC requirements. Being prepared in advance of an outbreak occurring permits our staff to respond immediately and confidently to the outbreak.
We also conduct regular IPAC assessments, staff training and audits to enhance our staff knowledge and confidence with procedures for Infection Prevention and Control including outbreak prevention and management. Ongoing communication is maintained with residents, families, visitors and all community partners and staff on a regular basis and in the event of an outbreak situation. If you would like more information about our Outbreak Management practices, please contact our Director of Nursing/Wellness Manager or the homes Administrator or General Manager.
