While dog visitors are welcome, they must be kept on a short leash at all times and will be asked to leave if they cause a disruption. As well, animal visitors are not permitted to be in or walk through any food service areas. Child visitors (including teens) are expected to be under the supervision of an adult at all times. We expect that the right to safety, privacy and quiet of all residents will be respected by each visitor and disruptions may result in their being asked to leave. If a visitor would like to join a resident for a meal, they need to speak with reception the day before the meal in order to reserve a space and purchase a quest meal ticket.
During influenza season (typically December-March), to help protect patients from the flu, all visitors will be expected to wear a mask in our facilities if they have not had a flu shot. For more information, please read our Influenza Protection Policy.
