Posted June 17th, 2020
Face-to-face visits are being re-introduced cautiously to the Long Term Care (LTC) sector, keeping the safety and emotional well-being of residents and staff at the forefront. Measures have been put in place to support a safe, pleasurable visiting experience for residents and family members while St. Joseph’s Lifecare Centre (SJLC) is not experiencing an active outbreak of any nature, and in accordance with Ministry of Long Term Care (MOLTC) Directives.  

 MOLTC Directives are based on the following four (4) principles:

√ Safety: Any approach to visiting in long-term care home must consider balance and meet the health and safety needs of residents, staff, and visitors, and ensure risks are mitigated. 

 

√ Emotional Well-being: Allowing visitors is intended to support the emotional well-being of residents and their families/friends, through reducing any potential negative impacts related to social isolation. 

 

√ Equitable Access: All individuals seeking to visit a resident will be given equitable visitation access, consistent with resident preference and within reasonable restrictions that safeguard residents. 

 

√ Flexibility: The physical/infrastructure characteristics of the long-term care home, its staffing availability, and the current status of the home with respect to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) levels for staff and residents.

This procedure is subject to change with short notice, based on the nature of Directives received from the MOLTC.

Beginning May 20th, outside food will be permitted into our facility, provided the following conditions are met:

Items must have been prepared at a licensed commercial food establishment and brought to our facility using *contactless delivery from a commercial delivery service.

For the safety of our residents, families are not permitted to drop off food or other items, purchased or homemade, at this time.

Delivery is to be made to the vestibule of entrance B on the site map (linked here) with a phone call placed by the delivery service to our front desk at  519-751-7096.  Please ensure that the full name of the intended recipient is given to the delivery service, along with the room number if possible, so they can pass this information along to our front desk personnel. Front desk personnel is responsible for wiping down the packaging before the product goes into the building. 

 

*Contactless delivery refers to the delivery of pre-paid food orders to the front doors of the building via commercial food delivery services, such as restaurant delivery service or Skip the Dishes. There is no contact between the delivery driver and SJLC staff/residents.

PLEASE NOTE THAT PROTOCOLS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME, BASED ON NEW INFORMATION RECEIVED THROUGH GOVERNMENT UPDATES. PLEASE CHECK THIS PAGE FOR UPDATED PROTOCOLS BEFORE VISITING OUR FACILITIES. 

In accordance with these recommendation from the Ontario Ministry of Health, St. Joseph’s Lifecare Centre Brantford (SJLCB) is implementing protocols aimed at ensuring the safety of our residents, employees and physicians.
