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

New Virtual Family Christmas Dinner

As we look ahead to the holiday season, we recognize that our celebrations will look, and even feel different this year.  One thing we have learned, is that we are adaptable and capable of successfully navigating our ever-changing normal. 

We have begun to plan our annual Family Dinner where families can sign-up to share a virtual Family meal with their loved one (Sunday’s starting Nov 15th-Dec 20th).  Details are being shared with families.  

Our goal is to support a meaningful opportunity for families and loved ones to connect, while ensuring a safe environment.  We are looking forward to the Virtual Family Dinner, and appreciate the support and understanding of the community as we navigate this new opportunity.  

Virtual Memorial Service

We are currently planning our Memorial Service, which like many other things, will look different this year.  We will video the service on October 22, 2020, then send to families.  We will not have any guests attend the services in-person.  Dianne Loerchner, Board Member has agreed to host the service.  Residents will form an honour guard, socially distanced, while we walk our Memorial Flowers through the guard.  After the video is complete, we will share it with residents and post to our Facebook page.

Flu Clinics 

We have planned our Resident and Staff Flu Clinics to take place before for the end of October.  Outreach Community Flu Clinic will be held, but date is to be determined.  The most effective way to decrease complications and reduce the impact of the flu is to get the flu shot.

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.
