Good Evening, We want to extend a thank you to all of you for helping Venta Care Centre be compliant and successful during the COVID outbreak.

Venta Care Centre would like to announce that we have had no new resident or staff cases of COVID-19 for 3 weeks now! In addition, many of our residents have received their second vaccinations today.

Today Venta Care Centre has received a tentative outbreak lift date on February 3, 2021 (with the caveat that no new COVID cases arise).

With this amazing news, we would like to ensure you that all staff will continue utilizing the recommended personal protective equipment and essential visitors will require specified personal protective equipment as well.

Please allow us time to arrange for services such as laundry, deliveries, recreation, etc. over this week.

Even with the vaccine administrations, the Medical Officer of Health has predicted that the new COVID variance will be even more aggressive in nursing homes and in the community. Venta Car The Centre still needs your collaboration and support to ensure that we keep the residents safe.

In summary;

We have had 37 recovered Residents and 19 recovered Staff!
We currently have 1 Resident and 0 Staff who are COVID positive.
There are a total of 4 residents that have passed away since the beginning of the outbreak. We want to express our continued sympathies to all families who have lost a loved one during this time.
