  • Wherever possible, the visit should be in resident’s room or in an outdoor area. Visits should not be in any inside communal areas
  • Visitors must check-in through our visitor check-in system
  • Visitors are strongly encouraged to receive the 2022 seasonal flu vaccine as soon as it is available
