In an abundance of caution, we're pausing general visits while we assess the COVID outbreak on Maple. All Residents are being tested today. Essential caregivers [ECGs] are encouraged to come in. Staff welcome the help, as they have many additional tasks during an outbreak.

We expect to have an update with more details by the end of the week. Our experience of the past is guiding our decisions.

Remember, every Resident can now have up to four essential caregivers. If anyone else would like to be an ECG, call Jillian to arrange training. 705-474-4250 ext. 244

On the bright side, the enteric outbreak should be over soon. Also, if you can't visit and want to send a card, the fall Send-a-Cards are ready for your uplifting messages.

As expected, the piling will begin tomorrow. We will be closely monitoring the impact of noise and vibration on Residents. See it on the live webcam.
