Glen Hill Terrace and Glen Hill Strathaven
Effective Tuesday, November 7, 2023 enhanced masking in all Ontario long term care homes was implemented.
“Recent trends have shown a moderate to high level of community transmission of COVID-19 and an increase in COVID-19 outbreaks in long term care homes, with an increased risk of hospitalization amongst residents. It is projected that COVID-19 activity may peak in the next few weeks, around the same time it is anticipated that influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will rise.”
Based on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the following enhanced masking measures for non-outbreak situations in long term care homes are in effect:
• Requiring staff, students, support workers, and volunteers to wear a mask when in resident areas indoors.
• Strongly recommending visitors and caregivers to wear a mask in resident areas indoors except when with the resident in the resident’s room or when eating or drinking with a resident in communal spaces.
• If a resident in a shared room is uncomfortable with others removing their mask, homes are encouraged to designate a space to enable the roommate to have visitors without masking.
Enhanced masking requirements will be reassessed once the current COVID-19 wave and other respiratory virus activity have declined.
Glen Hill Gardens Update!
We are delighted to announce that the Glen Hill Gardens project is one step closer to making this vision a reality. The project has received site plan approval and a building permit from the Municipality of Clarington as well as construction approval from the Ministry of Long Term Care.
We are excited to have selected JJ McGuire as the general contractor for the construction of our new home. The new Glen Hill Gardens home is scheduled to have construction completed in September of 2025.
We are so grateful for the blessings that have made this project possible and are truly thankful for the support and dedication of our team, partners and community in bringing this long-term care home to the construction phase.
We look forward to sharing more updates with you as the construction progresses.
