Glen Hill Terrace and Glen Hill Strathaven
Effective March 4, 2024:
The Ministry of Long Term Care is ending the enhanced masking measures.
Recent trends and projections have demonstrated decreases in community level transmission of COVID-19, flu and RSV. There have been decreases in outbreaks in long term care homes, and increased vaccination rates with lower risk of severe illness and hospitalization amongst residents.
Masking in non-outbreak situations in Long Term Care Homes continues to be:
-
Required for staff, based on a point-of-care risk assessment before every resident interaction, and based on the return-to-work protocols;
-
Staff may consider wearing a mask during prolonged direct resident care defined as one-on-one within two metres of an individual for fifteen minutes or longer; and
-
Recommended for visitors and caregivers, but not required.
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.
