Visiting Columbus Residence
Updated – September 28, 2023
We received information that the Ministry of Health is scheduled to announce on Thursday, September 28th, changes to the infection control measures in LTC homes.
Effective October 3, 2023:
- Staff and all visitors (family, contractors, volunteers) are required to wear a mask while in the building. The only exception to this is that visitors may remove their masks while in a resident’s room.
- Screening of all visitors will resume at the entrance to the building.
- Visitors are not required to provide their vaccination status and they will not be required to undergo rapid antigen test.
- Staff cannot eat with or share food with residents. Visitors cannot eat with or share food with residents outside the resident’s room or resident kitchen if prebooked.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Building Entry after 5 pm, visitors will need to be in contact with the nurse on the care floor of your loved one, so that they can assist with entry to the building. Patience is required as someone will need to attend the Front Entrance to open the door and there may be a wait due to staff assisting residents.
If you are sick, with any symptoms of respiratory or gastrointestinal illness, please stay home, and wait to visit until you do not have any further symptoms. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in minimizing risk to your loved one, all residents and our staff and community.
