LTC: E-Signature for Spring COVID Booster Consent

Menno Home and Hospital are excited to launch an electronic signature system for our electronic medical records that enables primary contacts for residents in long-term care to easily provide consents regarding their loved one. Using an electronic signature (E-Signature) is a quick, easy and secure way for primary contacts to provide consents regarding their loved one. You’ll be able to respond to requests for consent through email and can easily print copies of any documents for your own records. At this time the system is for primary contacts of residents in Menno Home and Menno Hospital only.

Note: Emails requesting consent will come from OneSpan signers@e-signlive.ca . The system refers to documents as “packages” so you will see language like “Menno Place has added you as a Signer to the e-Sign Package “Covid Immunization Consent” for example.

Instructions for how to use an e-signature can be found here: How to Use an E-Signature for Medical Consent Forms

Request for Consent coming April 7 -10

Primary contacts will be emailed between April 7 – 10 with a request for consent for the Spring COVID booster. If you do not receive an email please check your junk folder.

The email will look something like this:

If you have any questions please contact the nurse on your loved one’s unit.

To find the chapel enter through the main entrance of Menno Hospital (by the round parking lot). Take the elevator to the second floor and turn left. Take the first right to walk across the skywalk and enter the chapel. The chapel and skywalk are both fully accessible.

If you plan to porter a resident using a mobility device please allow extra time as we anticipate busy elevators and a full house.

MEMO: TE Only Elevator Shut-Down and Phone Line Disruption

For Terrace East ONLY

North Elevator Shut-Down – March 11-12th

The main lobby elevator in Terrace East has a repair scheduled for Wednesday, March 11th to Thursday, March 12th. During these two days, the elevator will not be available to use.

Please use the South Elevator (at the end of the hall) during this time. Thank you for your patience as we share one elevator.

Phone Line Disruption – March 12th

We are making a behind the scenes upgrade to our technical equipment, and as a result expect that each suite will lose phone access for about 5 minutes at some point during the day. We do not know what time each individual suite will be impacted; we do not need access to the suite for this upgrade.

We understand that the pendant system will continue to function during the short disruption. Staff will monitor the situation and remain aware of any issue that may arise during this upgrade.

Thank you for your cooperation.

MEMO: Apts Power Washing of Decks and Windows

Our annual spring cleaning is about to begin in the apartments. We have arranged for the same contractor as last year to come and wash the decks and windows. This project will begin as early as Monday, March 9th and is expected to take about 2 weeks per building to complete.

This memo is official notice that we will be accessing all suites to complete this work.

The work will begin March 9th in Primrose Gardens on the 6th floor, and we will work our way down floor by floor. We have asked the contractor to provide us with daily progress updates so that we can do our best to keep you informed. Listen for these updates at lunch announcements. Contact the Life Enrichment Team with any questions.

Schedule

Primrose Gardens: March 9th – March 23rd
Terrace East: March 24 – April 7th
Terrace West: April 8th – April 26th
Pavilion: April 27th – May 11th

The contractor will be using a power wash cart that will be rolled into each suite. Residents do not have to move any furniture in their suite. They will access your deck via the patio door.

Please move smaller items off the deck, including items that shouldn’t get wet (if you are able to do so).

Thank you for your cooperation
