    NEW Screening and Swabbing Process as of Monday, August 26, 2022:

    The desk to the right-hand side as you enter the home will be removed.

    Visitors enter the home using the keypad and typing in 4567 to enter. Then proceed to the desk on the left. They will pick up an iPad, fill out the screening tool and then write their name on a sticky note.

    Once you have completed that you will proceed with the tablet and sticky note to the swabbing area and give the sticky note and iPad to the screener. Temperature taking is no longer required.

    The screener will initial the iPad as per usual and the individual will proceed with doing a self-rapid test.

    Once you sit down in the swabbing chair (or you may stand), sanitize your hands and you will be handed the swab to complete the swabbing of both nostrils for yourself.

    Please ensure that you move the swab around 5 times in each nostril to complete the process properly.

    Then the screener will hold out the clear tube for you to put your swab into, swab end down or the tube will be on the tray on the table.

    The staff/visitor must remain in the swabbing area for 15 minutes until you release them once a negative result has been seen by the screener. (as per usual).

    Residents' Council spoke and we listened.

    With the support of the Pines Support Committee, we purchased In Memoriam Boards for all of the resident home areas. Residents' Council wanted to ensure that all residents in the home were aware when a resident passes away. Many residents have friends throughout the home and they would like to know if someone has passed away.

    The activity team will keep the Memoriam Boards up to date on all of the home areas. Thank you again to the Pines Support Committee for supporting the purchase of the boards to support the residents in the home.
