Re: Mother’s Day Flower and Gift Deliveries
_________________________________________________________________________________

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 11 and we are expecting a large volume of floral deliveries along with one of the busiest visiting days of the year. We need your help to make sure these gifts get to their intended resident.

Starting Friday, May 9 and throughout the weekend please help celebrate our residents by doing the following:

  1. Accept any floral deliveries that come to your building provided they meet the following criteria:
    a. No lilies or other scented flowers.
    b. No loose flowers – Menno Place is not able to provide vases. An exception can be made if you know the resident has their own vase.
    c. No large potted plants. Plants that can reasonably sit on a desk or table are permitted.
    d. No large gifts that require a cart to transport will be delivered.
  2. If the delivery is for a resident in another unit in your building, please look them up in PCC and arrange the delivery of the gift to them.
  3. If the delivery is for a resident in the other Menno Place LTC building call:
    a. Menno Home 604-853-2411 x 2323
    b. Menno Hospital 604-859-7631 x2244
  4. If the resident lives in the apartments, it’s best to redirect the delivery service to that building to use the enterphone to make the delivery. If you receive a gift that is for a resident in the Apartments, please hold the gift and inform your Nurse Manager.

Thank you for taking the extra time to ensure our residents have a meaningful Mother’s Day. It matters to them so it matters to us.
