Public health has placed Terrace East on Enhanced Monitoring. Effective immediately, the following protocols are in place:

  • Dining Room is closed – staff will be delivering meals to each suite.
  • Morning break snacks are available for pick-up only from the dining room (please pick up your snacks and enjoy them in your suite).
  • In-person Recreation Activities are cancelled – watch channel 10. (We are postponing our Men’s Breakfast – stay tuned for the new date.)
  • If you have symptoms (fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle/body ache, headache, new loss of taste/smell, sore throat, congestion/runny nose, diarrhea/nausea/vomiting), we will place a cart by your door with personal protective equipment for anyone entering your suite.

Dear Residents of Terrace West,

Public health has placed Terrace East on Enhanced Monitoring due to increasing numbers of residents with COVID-19 and has put screening and mask requirements in place for Terrace East. As a result of that, we are closing the dining room and stopping in-person recreation activities for both Terrace East and Terrace West.

Effective immediately, staff will be delivering your meals to your suite.

Morning break snacks will be available for pick-up in the Terrace West bistro.

I’d like to remind you that there are some activities available on channel 10. The bistro area remains open. Please note that we are postponing the Men’s Breakfast – stay tuned for the new date.

If you are sick, we are asking that you stay in your suite unless you are on your way in/out of the building, and we’d appreciate if you’d wear a mask in this situation. Symptoms to watch for include fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle/body ache, headache, new loss of taste/smell, sore throat, congestion/runny nose, diarrhea/nausea/vomiting.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will get through this together. As a reminder, showing care and concern for each other is our overarching approach. Let’s do our part in stopping the spread.
