Visitor Restrictions at LeGrow Health Centre
Please be advised that temporary visitor restrictions are in place at Dr. Charles L. LeGrow Health Centre. The visitor restrictions are in place due to a number of residents on the Lighthouse Lane/Long Term Care unit with influenza like illness. Immediate family members of residents on Lighthouse Lane/Long Term Care unit should contact the unit at 695-4535 for further direction about visitation.
Visitor restrictions 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.
Western Health would like to thank the public for their co-operation during this precautionary measure.
