Visitor Restrictions at Calder Health Centre
Western Health is advising that visitor restrictions are in place at Calder Health Centre. The visitor restrictions are in place due to a number of residents on with influenza like illness.
Immediate family members of residents in long term care should call 886-3350, ext. 4114 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. 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 patient/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.
