News Briefs from the September 2020 Blue Water Rest Home Board Meeting…

Visiting at Blue Water Rest Home

**UPDATE TO INDOOR AND OUTDOOR VISITING**

Visitors welcome!

We are looking forward to welcoming visitors back in to BWRH, as of September 15, 2020, in a more traditional way. Scheduling of Indoor Visits is no longer required. Each resident may have up to two visitors at one time during visiting hours. Daily Visiting Hours are 9:30-11:00 am, 1:30-4:00 pm, and 6:30-8:30 pm

*All General Visitors must attest to a negative COVID-19 test result in the past 14 days, successfully pass screening upon entry, adhere to hand hygiene practices, wear a surgical mask for duration of the visit (supplied by BWRH), and leave all non-perishable items for residents in the drop-box. Upon arrival of your first visit, you will receive a ‘Indoor and Outdoor Visiting Policy’, that provides all the necessary details and guidelines that pertain to indoor visitors.  

Outdoor Visits will continue if weather permits. Our goal is to provide as much notice of cancellations as possible; however, we may need to cancel without notice if weather changes quickly.  

We are approaching the new directive with caution, as we transition into the next phase, to ensure the safety our residents and staff remains priority. 

Thank you for your continued understanding and support as we navigate these changes.

Christmas Celebrations

Like many things this year, Christmas is going to look a little different because of COVID-19.  We are looking at ways to do things differently so that we can still celebrate the joy of the Christmas season.  While we await further direction from the Ministry, we will begin brainstorming ideas in the coming weeks and we will provide residents, their families, and our supporters with updates in a timely manner.

Foot Care Provider

Our new Foot Care provider, James Miles, will run his first community clinic on September 15th and 21st, then run BWRH clinics one day per week from September 28th-October 19th.  If community members are interested in attending the community clinic, please contact Stacy 519-236-4373 x 632.

Blue Water Rest Home is a Non-Profit Charitable organization and donations of $10 and greater are receipted and $500 and greater are recognized on a Donor Plaque.
