MEMO: COVID-19.
The safety and well-being of our residents and staff are top priorities for Morgan Heights, and we will continue to follow direction from public health officials and experts regarding the best infection prevention and control measures to take to avoid transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
- As BC begins to loosen restrictions and everyone looks forward to bringing some normalcy back into their lives, we know that this is not the case for long-term care facilities. Age alone makes our residents vulnerable to COVID-19 and we want to continue to make sure we do what is best for them to keep them safe and healthy.
We know that it is hard for families to be separated due to COVID-19 prevention and control measures. These measures, including essential visitor restrictions, are critical in protecting the health of our residents/tenants, who are most vulnerable to COVID-19.
While these measures must remain in place, there is an opportunity for us to ease/modify visitor restrictions so the visits can be more interactive. At same time we strongly believe that face time visit is a much secure way to connect with your loved one and should be utilized instead of an in person visit unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary to visit in person.
We had been working hard to explore new ideas so that we are able to achieve a better visiting experience while maintaining the safety of residents, staff and families.
We were able to have custom made plastic barriers on June 4,2020. We are now able to offer patio visits with ONE adult family member on the patio inside the gate. Access to the patio will be provided by the assisting recreation staff member/s.
Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
