During the current Covid 19 pandemic, the safety of our residents has been our number one priority. We encourage residents and their caregivers take precaution when entering our home.
If you plan to take your family member out of the facility for an essential appointment or social visit please call ahead to inform us of their plans.
Pre-authorized essential caregivers have access to our home, however all other general visitors must pre-book either an indoor or outdoor visit through our Activity Director at 613-932-3707 ext 710.
For any other questions regarding COVID policies please call 613-932-3707 ext 701 to speak with our Executive Director.
