COVID – 19

Trillium Retirement Living will take all necessary steps and control measures to assist in the prevention and monitoring of COVID-19. We support and strongly encourage people to abide by the health and safety practices that are contained in the current public health guidelines.

Respiratory Etiquette

It is important to help reduce the spread of illnesses by using proper respiratory etiquette. This means that instead of covering your mouth with your hands when coughing or sneezing, use your sleeve or a tissue. This reduces the number of germs on your hands, though it is still important to wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.

Hand Hygiene

Hand hygiene is a general term referring to any action of hand cleansing and is a fundamental component of infection prevention and control. Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth without cleaning your hands or sneezing or coughing into your hands may provide an opportunity for germs to get into your body. Keeping your hands clean through good hygiene practice is one of the most important steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.

Visiting

Ensure that you pick up your COVID-19 visitor package prior to visiting any Trillium Retirement Living owned or managed home.

The following requirements must be met for visits to happen, as applicable:

  • Visitors should pass the passive screening process every time they visit and may not be permitted entry, unless and exception applies per the residence’s policy
  • Visitors should comply with the retirement home’s infection and prevention control protocols (IPAC) which includes:
    • Visitors are encouraged to wash/sanitize hands before, during, and after each visit.
    • Visitors are encouraged to wear Personal Protective Equipment (i.e., a mask), if required by the residence.

Essential Visitors are the only type of visitor permitted while a resident is isolated under Droplet and Contact Precautions. General Visitors should avoid entering the home for 10 days after COVID-19 symptom onset, if possible. If the visit is essential to the resident’s mental/physical well-being, the visitors may come into the home, wearing a mask at all times.
