November 27, 2025, Oak Home Area Outbreak Declared Over

We are pleased to share that, in collaboration with Public Health, the Oak Home Area outbreak has officially been declared over. During this period, six residents experienced symptoms, with three testing positive for C. difficile. We are grateful to report that all affected residents have fully recovered, and all isolation precautions have now been lifted.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire Oak team for their exceptional work in containing the outbreak. Your coordinated efforts ensured the situation remained limited to six residents and prevented further spread throughout the home.

We would also like to recognize our laundry and housekeeping teams for their outstanding dedication. Your commitment to enhanced cleaning protocols and meticulous environmental management played a vital role in eliminating spores and safeguarding our home. This successful outcome would not have been possible without your hard work.

Finally, thank you to all family members and visitors for adhering to proper processes and procedures throughout the outbreak. Your cooperation supported our residents and helped shorten the duration of the outbreak. We truly appreciate your partnership in maintaining strong IPAC practices within the home.
