Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov) - Visitors to the Homes and ADP
The County of Elgin Homes, under the guidance of the Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams, continues to restrict in Home access to all non-essential visitors, essential visitors are identified as those who have a resident who is dying or very ill. An on-site Manager or Registered Nursing staff will identify those residents who qualify to receive visitors. Visitors identified as essential, as well as all staff, will be screened upon entering the home. If an individual does not pass the active screening for COVID-19, they will not be permitted entry to the home and it will be suggested that they follow up with public health or their health care practitioner.
Adult Day Programs and overnight respite will remain closed until further notice.
Effective June 18, 2020
The province has announced that we are able to gradually resume visiting in our Long-Term-Care Homes. The first phase of this process will begin with pre-scheduled, socially distanced outdoor visits by one person per resident. Please visit the news section of the website for further details or contact the Home directly for more information.
