We are pleased to report that we do not have any active cases of COVID-19 at the Northside Community Guest Home. We are still under "outbreak restrictions" as directed by public health. These restrictions are put in place to protect the residents and ensure we are free of the virus. At this time we do not have a date for when the restrictions will be over but we will update this page once we do.
We have a shipment of ipads coming this week provided by the NS Government. The additional ipads will allow us more opportunities to facetime with families. I encourage you to make an appointment with our recreation staff to facetime, phone 902-794-4733 ext 225. The connection between residents and families is very important especially when you are apart. If you can't access a device to facetime please let us know and we can arrange a phone call.
I would like to thank our board of directors and the families of our residents for your support and understanding. This is a difficult time but I see a light at the end.
