Fans in Resident Rooms
With the warm weather upon us here is a reminder about fans in Resident rooms. Fans must be positioned so as not to blow on other Residents in the room. Should there be an outbreak fans will not be permitted due to infection control concerns. If you are bringing a fan, please let our Maintenance department know as they will complete an inspection to ensure electrical safety.

With the arrival of warmer weather, we are encouraging our families to start looking at your loved one’s clothing to make the change over to Spring and Summer attire. Please ensure that the Fall and Winter clothing is taken home.
