As levels of COVID-19 remain high in Manitoba, our efforts to provide residents with safe access to
visits by friends and family members continue. We continue to take every precaution to keep your loved
one safe however we know that social visits are so important to the health and well being of our
residents.

With high vaccination rates among our residents and staff, and in the community, we are so pleased
to be able to offer expanded social visitation for our fully immunized residents and their fully
immunized visitors.

This will include the ability for general visitors to visit residents, indoors, including in some instances in
the resident’s room or in the courtyard. In addition, where physical distancing can be maintained, more
than one visitor at a time may also be present. Please check with us to confirm whether this is possible
for visit appointments with your loved one.

Please note, this change will take effect June 21. 2021. Please contact our Recreation Dept.
(204) 482-6601 Ext: 125 after June 16, 2021 for information or to book a visit.

Fully immunized residents and visitors are those who have received both doses of the COVID-
19 vaccine, and whose second dose was received more than 14 days before the planned visit.
Both the resident and the visitor(s) must meet these criteria, visits must be scheduled and visitors will
be required to demonstrate “proof of full immunization” and “photo identification” before entry.

Please note: this change only applies to general visitors. There is no change for designated family
caregivers. Full details are available in the attached frequently asked questions document.

We know the last number of months have been difficult and have required limits on social visits and
interaction. We look forward to welcoming fully vaccinated visitors back into our facility and we know
you and our residents will be excited by this small step toward “normal” too.

As we slowly expand visitation, we must all continue to take every possible precaution to protect the
health of your loved ones. All visitors will continue to be screened before entry, masks & eye protection
must be worn, and anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 will not be admitted.

We will regularly review opportunities to improve and will learn as we go. We are grateful for your
continued cooperation and patience.
