KEEP BEING VIGILANT! PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS CONTINUE – STAY STRONG!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK – BE VIGILANT AND STAY STRONG!

This has been a challenging year and we have done amazing as a team!

The vaccinations have given us a lot of hope that things can be better – and different.

STILL…We’re all in this together – and it’s still not safe:

  • The possibility of being a spreader of the coronavirus remains, even if you are vaccinated.
  • The residents and staff who are not vaccinated are vulnerable to becoming infected – these are the ones you love and the ones you work with.
  • The coronavirus variant is present in British Columbia.
  • The rate of community prevalence remains high with the highest daily rate in the Fraser Health region.

We need to stick to our protocols – at WORK and at HOME!

Remember, these are the current Public Health Orders (Feb. 8, 2021)

  • No social gatherings of ANY SIZE at your residence with anyone other than your household
  • No gathering in backyards, patios, driveways or anywhere else on your property
  • Do not host playdates for children
  • Drive-In and Drop-Off events are allowed, but not getting out and visiting
  • Funerals, weddings and baptisms for maximum 10 people following COVID protocols
  • Restaurants, pubs, bars with ONLY your household (unless you live alone)
  • Mask wearing in all public indoor settings – face shields are not a substitute
  • No travel for vacation or to visit friends or family
  • Essential travel only (medical appointments and hospital visits)

We can do this – TOGETHER!

Remember that we remain in a state of emergency in British Columbia and this means that the Public Health Officer can make and enforce orders.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel (with vaccination), but we aren’t there yet… keep going!

And keep on doing what you do every day:

  • Wash your hands frequently
  • Use hand sanitizer
  • Wear a mask
  • Stay 6 feet apart from others
  • Monitor your symptoms and stay home if you have any symptoms

We’ve got this, team!

All Staff: Staffing Update

/in

MEMO

Date:             March 3, 2021

To:                  Menno Place Team Members

Re:                  Staffing Post Outbreak

________________________________________________________________________

Menno Place has received the go ahead from Fraser Health to resume staffing schedules based on pre-outbreak protocols, with a few additional precautions.

Staff are still co-horted to a building.  No moving between sites.

Regular staff will go back to their regular schedules as long as they work on only one unit per day.  The Staffing office will call you if there is a change to your current schedule.

Casual staff have access to all units in their building but may only work on one unit each day.

Support Staff, Chaplains, Recreation have access to all units, but may only work on one unit per day.

For those wanting to work OT on another unit on the same day, you must take a shower and change cloths before working on another unit – remember to bring an extra set of work clothes with you if you wish to work OT on another unit on the same day.

ALL INFECTION CONTROL Measures MUST BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED to continue the opportunity to work across units.  Wearing a mask and goggles on the unit is mandatory.

Thank you.
