Door Access Changes at Menno Hospital Begin This Week

Dear Team Members,

Resident safety remains our highest priority. Over the past several months, we have experienced incidents where residents have exited the building and entered potentially unsafe environments despite staff vigilance, reminders, and existing safety measures.

To further strengthen our resident safety practices and reduce the risk of unsafe wandering, we will be implementing additional access control measures at selected exits in both Menno Hospital and Menno Home.

Keypad installation on the following doors will take place this week in Menno Hospital:

  • W1 Hospital Hallway – door located near Staffing and the Communications Office leading to the exterior.
  • Door opposite the face scanner and Maintenance Room leading to the parking area.

Employees will continue to use their swipe cards for entry through these doors.

A keypad code will be required for exit through the designated doors.

Keypad codes will be provided to employees during huddles, team meetings and by managers/supervisors. Please do not share these codes.

These changes are being introduced to support resident safety while maintaining employee access to the building. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these important safety enhancements.

We will provide the dates for the installations in Menno Home as they become available.
