Update on Visits Re-opening in Menno Home, Hospital and TE AL

On June 30th, Bonnie Henry, BC Public Health Officer and Adrian Dix, BC Minister of Health announced that we would re-open visits to long-term care homes and assisted living apartments.

We continue to await funding promised by Adrian Dix for up to 3 FTE staff at each of our three locations to support safe and no-touch visits before we begin these visits. We do not have a start-date for visits. Our safety plan to accomodate safe visits will rely on how many additional support staff we receive through this promised funding.

Here is a video update from Sharon Simpson, Director, Community Enrichment that was made for families to keep them updated.
