After three+ years of masking, we're ALL ready to fill Cassellholme's hallways with friendly smiles once again. The Ministries of Health and Long-Term Care have just released new guidelines. While masks are still recommended in situations of close contact/care, they are not required in other settings. You can read the summary of guidelines here.
 
As of 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 27th, 2023 we will ALL have the option to unmask.     
 There are, of course, still some guidelines:

• All visitors and staff must continue to complete the passive screening when they enter.
• Cassellholme will maintain a mask-friendly policy. Anyone who wishes to wear a mask will, of course, be welcome to do so.
• If you'd like staff providing direct care to Resident, to be masked, let your unit manager know – 705-474-4250 – Apple/Maple ext. 288, Birch/Cherry Lane ext. 252, Willow ext. 256.
• If you're unwell, please postpone your visit. 
• Hand sanitizing remains a vital defense against most illnesses. Please be diligent about keeping your hands clean.
• If there is a respiratory outbreak of any kind, an alert will be posted on the website and at the entrance. Masking will resume in the affected area[s].

We're excited about the chance to share smiles with you.
