We are doing our very best to care for your loved ones through this pandemic, starting from a belief that caring for people is a privilege that starts with a spiritual purpose and desire to serve. We are making decisions based on the information and evidence available to us, adapting as necessary to create a safe environment for your loved ones and our teams. We are adhering to all protocols and directives issued by the Chief Medical Officer of Health.
We are shifting how we communicate to make it more timely and efficient. You can now scroll down to view a chart that lists all our centres and their current status. The table will be updated on Thursdays by 6 p.m. In the case of outbreaks, we will immediately update that information on the table and indicate how many residents and staff have tested positive. You will receive a phone call should your loved one be affected by an outbreak so we can talk the situation through and respond to your questions.
We have introduced a text messaging alert system where you can sign up to receive text alerts in outbreak situations. Click here to sign up for Text Message Alerts
Please continue to connect regularly with your loved ones in person, by phone or virtually through Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime. For everyone’s safety, in outbreak situations, we are required to significantly limit in-person visits. We will notify you when this is the case.
For in-person visits, please be aware that Covenant Care endorses the Public Health directives for safe visitation at continuing care sites. Protecting our residents continues to be a top priority and many measures will remain in place. However, entry screening will no longer be required of families, visitors, contractors, and volunteers.
In addition to the weekly update table, you can also access the following information:
- Family updates which are sent by email are posted here for your easy reference
- Frequent Asked Questions with responses to some questions we are asked often
- Links to helpful information including the most recent COVID-19 information and the online screening tool
Please stay healthy and safe. Remember to wash your hands frequently with soap and water or using hand sanitizer, practice physical distancing, wear a mask whenever you are away from your home, and minimize contact with people outside of your home. Seniors continue to be among the most vulnerable and the most likely to experience severe symptoms should they become infected with the virus. Families, residents, and staff must work hand-in-hand, exercise caution, and practice diligence in following all public health guidelines to keep COVID-19 at bay.

Residents and staff are deemed to be recovered when, 10 days following their positive test result, they are not experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 and are functioning at their expected capacity. 10 days following a positive test result is the minimum amount of time to ascertain recovery. It may take individuals longer than that to be symptom-free.
