Visitor Precautions at Bay St. George Long Term Care
Please be advised that a temporary visitor precaution is in place at Bay St. George Long Term Care Centre. The visitor precaution is in place due to a number of residents on the Memory Lane with influenza like illness.
Visitor precautions are a series of infection control measures put in place to reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases which are common in health care facilities this time of year. They are designed to help keep clients, families, staff and visitors healthy and safe.
Visitors can help reduce the spread of illness by:
• Cleaning your hands before entering the unit and after visiting your loved ones.
• Visiting only one resident.
• Not visiting if you are experiencing flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms.
Immediate family members of residents on Memory Lane should contact the unit at 646-5800 ext. 7222 for further direction about visitation.
Western Health would like to thank the public for their co-operation during this precautionary measure.
