October – Be CYBERSAFE – REPORT SPAM TEXT MESSAGES TO 7726
Report Spam Text Messages to 7726
Phishing is one of the most common scams in Canada and is one of the easiest ways for cyber criminals to steal information and money from their victims. If you browse the internet, use social media , have a cell phone or smartphone, or have an email address, chances are you’ve received a phishing message. The simplest way to fight off phishing messages is to delete them, but it’s also important to report them to your cellular provider to help protect yourself and others from the same attacks.
Thank You Health Care Aides!
We put a call out to friends and families to see if they wanted to pass along their thanks to our staff. Here’s what they had to say.

Staff are required to wear medical masks in common resident areas of all buildings.
Medical masks are optional for residents who have NO symptoms.
Visitors are asked to wear medical masks in all common areas (masks are available at the front entrances of each building).
As we stated at the beginning, showing care and concern for each other is our overarching approach. Let’s all do our part to avoid spreading illness. Thank you for your commitment to doing your part in following our protocols.
