Jan. 6/23 - Outbreak Status - 1st and 2nd Floor

Dear Fairvern Stakeholder, Family Members, Staff and Volunteers:

Please be advised that Fairvern remains in a whole home outbreak.

There is one (1) positive Resident and nine (9) Residents who have been resolved on 1st floor and five (5) positive Residents and eight (8) Residents who have been resolved on 2nd floor.

Cohorting continues on both floors and staff are completing twice daily monitoring of all residents for signs and symptoms. Residents are being encouraged to stay in their rooms and meal service is being delivered to them. Resident masking is also being encouraged for those who can tolerate the mask.

Power of Attorneys for Residents who are positive have been notified. We are working with Public Health and should there be changes you will be notified.

Public Health has advised Fairvern that Residents are discouraged from leaving the Home during the outbreak. Should you choose to take your loved one out, we strongly recommend that a mask be worn by the Resident and yourself. At this time, only Essential Caregivers may visit Residents and only visit your loved one. If your Resident is in a COVID positive room, only one (1) Essential Caregiver is allowed to visit per Resident at one time. For other rooms there can be two (2) Essential Caregivers visiting at one time per Resident. Eye protection and a facemask is required for both floors and will be provided by the Home. Please ensure Infection Protocols are followed and hand hygiene is completed. If your loved one is positive, you will be required to wear additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Please see staff should you have any questions.

Please remember that the virus is highly transmissible. We are providing this message so that those wishing to visit our Home can make their own determination regarding entering the Home to visit their loved one.

In the meantime, we will continue to do our very best to keep everyone in our Home safe. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sincerely,

Carrie Acton, Administrator

Karen Jeffries, Resident Care Coordinator/Infection Control Nurse
