Family and Friends is a regularly scheduled meeting for family members, friends or representatives of residents in Menno Home and Menno Hospital. Our guest speakers will be the Health Care-Aid Lead Tonya Neufeld and Physiotherapist Sangeetha Thukkaram. Each will be discussing their roles and how they support our staff, residents and families at Menno Home and Menno Hospital.
Family Council is a great way to connect and learn about the opportunities that are on the Menno Place campus, as well as getting to know other family members that are on a similar journey with their loved ones in long term care. We hope you will be able to join us.
A strong fall storm system will direct an atmospheric river towards the South Coast, bringing heavy rain to the region. Rain is expected to begin early in the day on Friday and continue into Sunday morning.
We are upgrading our water systems on campus. As a result, there will be a complete water shutdown (hot and cold) overnight on the following dates. All nursing staff will have access to hand wash stations while the water is shut off. We trust that the overnight hours will have only a minimal impact on our tenants.
Water Shut Off Schedule:
For tenants who live in the apartments:
Ensure you have some water set aside to drink before you go to bed. Every toilet gets one flush after the water is shut down; you may wish to fill a bucket with water for an additional flush. Hand sanitizer can be used to clean your hands as needed.
For residents who live in Long-Term Care:
Care staff will make sure you have what you need.
For all:
We will have maintenance staff on campus during this time. The fire sprinkler system will remain active during the shutdown.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Family, friends, and caregivers of residents from Menno Home and Menno Hospital are invited to join our Caregiver Support Group.
As family and friends, you share similar experiences and you are not alone. Our Family & Friends Caregiver Support Group is about having a safe place to talk about your emotions, connect with other family, friends and caregivers, learn how to support your loved one in care and learn how to take care of yourself. Our support group will meet to share stories and support each other through the difficult moments. Our hope is that you will feel encouraged, supported and strengthened to continue this ongoing journey.
Details:
The Family and Friends Support Group will be a closed group with a maximum of 10 members.
