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

Suspension of General Visitors

In November, Huron Perth moved into the Orange Protect Level of Ontario’s COVID-19 Response Framework.  We have followed the Ministry of Long-Term Care and Huron Perth Public Health’s directive and suspended all indoor visitors. We are still offering the option for residents to enjoy virtual calls and window visits with family and friends.  Santa came early and everyone was able to enjoy a window visit and express some holiday spirit.  

Even though our holidays celebrations have looked different this year, December is going to be a busy month at Blue Water Rest Home celebrating the festive season.  

Virtual Family Christmas Dinner

Although this is a new concept, residents and their families have embraced the idea and have really enjoyed the opportunity for some family time.  We have two more upcoming Virtual Family Dinner’s on December 13th and December 20th.  

Other Holiday Seasons Events Planned

We plan on celebrating the holiday season all month long.  There will be festive crafts, happy hour, Advent, virtual entertainment, Ugly Sweater Friday’s, virtual concern with Craig Manning, target practice, along with many other games and activities.  The month will end with Santa’s Elves delivering gifts on December 24th and 2020 will go out with a bang with a Fireworks show on December 31st.  More details about the Fireworks will be posted on Facebook. 

Media 

We have been sharing our celebrations and successes on our Facebook page so please be sure to like us on Facebook @whccbwrh.  This will give you an opportunity to see the various activities, programs and celebrations happening under the roof at the West Huron Care Centre. 

Donation of an Enable Table

We are extremely grateful for the Zurich Has Beans hockey team, who generously donated an enable table from their social fund proceeds.  Our residents are enjoying it.  Thank you  to the Zurich Has Beans!

Season’s Greetings

On behalf of everyone at Blue Water Rest Home, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season! Despite the pandemic, we hope that you can still feel the joy of the season.
