LTC: E-Signature for Spring COVID Booster Consent

/in , , ,

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.

Reminder: It’s Time to File Your Income Taxes

/in , , ,

Income tax returns are due April 30th. This deadline is especially important for any residents who receive government funding – either in Funded Assisted Living or Long-Term Care – as rates are calculated annually using information from the Notice of Assessment.

For Residents Living in the Apartments

If you or your loved one live in the apartments and would like help filing your income taxes, help is available through the Community Volunteer Income Tax program (CVIT) sponsored by Revenue Canada. This program is available to seniors who have a simple tax situation and meet the following restrictions:

1 Person – total family income under $40,000
2 People – total family income under $55,000

To participate in the program:

  1. Fill out the CVIT consent form. This form gives the volunteers permission to file taxes on your behalf. You can download the form here: CVIT Consent Form  Printed forms are also available from any of the LEAs.
  2. Bring the completed form along with copies of all tax slips and hand them off to one of the LEAs.
  3. The LEAs will keep your documents secure and hand them to the CVIT volunteers who will prepare your tax return.

If you have any questions you can contact the LEA team at (604) 851-4004.

For Residents Living in Long-Term Care

All primary contacts for residents living in long-term care received a letter via email with tax information in January. If you have questions about how to do taxes for a resident in LTC please contact Garry Janzen Garry.Janzen[at]mennoplace.ca .

Residents in long-term care often qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. To apply for this credit you will need to fill out form T2201.

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

/in , ,

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.
