FAMILY UPDATE FROM VENTA CARE CENTRE

To our Residents and Family Members

As of today, Venta Care Centre has 4 Residents that have tested positive for COVID-19 and 0 staff.

Families with positive loved ones have been contacted by a Care Manager. If your loved one is on the affected unit you have also been contacted.

If you are not contacted your loved one is not affected. Please do not call the nursing stations at this time to inquire as our team is working diligently to keep all Residents safe.

At this time, we have isolated the affected unit, but are continuing activities and communal dining with social distancing for the rest of the facility. We continue to encourage Residents to wear masks when leaving their rooms. We also encourage families to arrange virtual Skype visits but remain open to visitation from 11-4pm. Please refrain from visiting if you are experiencing any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

In addition, we require the ongoing use of face masks and shields while in the facility during your visit.

We take very seriously the responsibility to safeguard our most vulnerable from COVID. We want to assure all visitors that noncompliance of our guidelines will result in a suspension in visitation.

Thank you for supporting us throughout this time.

Respectfully
Dr. Peter Birzgalis
CEO Venta Care Centre
