Hello everyone,
We were informed by Communicable Disease Control (CDC) that Seasons Olds is being placed into outbreak status effective immediately. One team member has tested positive for COVID-19. The team member last worked on August 13, 2021.
CDC requires two rounds of prevalence testing for both staff and residents. A mobile testing unit is coming today, stopping at each resident’s suite. The second round of testing will take place on August 25, 2021.
Dining services will continue as usual; however, all organized activities will be paused. At this time, only Designated Essential Visitors will be permitted and should be scheduled in advance. We encourage all other friends and loved ones to contact residents via phone, text or email.
Please rest assured that we are working closely with CDC and Alberta Health Services (AHS). We will continue to be transparent with all of you as we continue to monitor this situation closely. Thank you for the trust you have placed in Seasons Retirement Communities. We take our responsibility very seriously and will continue to make decisions with our staff and residents’ health and safety in mind.
Sincerely,
LeighAnne Voll
Chief Operating Officer,
Seasons Retirement Communities
