Terrace East Dining Room re-opened – Day One!

The Terrace East Assisted Living Dining Room was re-opened today for the 2nd floor residents to join together for a socially distanced meal. There were 17 residents who came down to the dining room. Staff facilitated the 6 foot spacing while they waited for their turn on the elevator. Residents sat at opposite ends of tables with at least 6 feet between them. John Dyck, Chaplain, sang a song and opened the lunch with a prayer of God’s grace and thanks for the spaghetti dinner. Following the ice-cream sandwhiches, the residents enjoyed a time of gathering and recreation with Timea who is a much-loved Recreation staff member at The Apartments.

Memo to Terrace East Residents – July 3, 2020:

Dear Residents of Terrace East,

We are very excited to announce that starting on Monday July 6th we will be inviting you back into the dining room for lunch, once per week!
Each floor will have a specific day that you will be invited to the dining room at lunch time. There will be a recreation program following the meal for all who wish to participate.

How will this work?
1. You will receive an invitation telling you which day of the week to come. Your invite will arrive the day before your turn in the dining room.

2. On your day you will be escorted to the elevator. Please stay in your suite until a staff member comes to get you. There will be 2 people allowed in the elevator at a time. Please stand on the green X.

3. We will be maintaining social distancing in the dining room. You will not be sitting in your regular seat. Staff will guide you.

4. Please wear your mask on the way to and from the dining room.

5. There will be signage telling you which door to use to enter the dining room and which door to exit from.

We are looking forward to see you all!
The Terrace East staff
