Riverdale Terrace tightly follows all province-mandated protocols regarding COVID-19 and adopts industry-recommended practices that strive for a higher level of care and service for our residents. The safety of our residents is our number one priority and therefore we encourage residents and their caregivers to take precaution when entering our home.
Upon entry all visitors must complete a Covid screening form. If you experience any symptoms or have been in recent contact with someone ill, please plan to visit on another occasion.
During an outbreak, pre-authorized essential caregivers may enter isolated resident suites, donning the proper PPE.
For enquiries, please call 613-932-3707 ext 701 to speak with our Executive Director.
