Infection Prevention and Control
Trillium Retirement Living will take all reasonable steps and implement appropriate control measures to support the prevention and monitoring of illness. We strongly encourage everyone to follow established health and safety practices in accordance with current public health guidance.
Visitor Wellness & Safety Requirements
To help protect the health and well-being of residents, staff, and visitors, the following requirements apply to all visits:
Wellness Screening
• Visitors must complete the Wellness Passport screening each time they visit.
• Entry may be limited if screening requirements are not met, unless an exception applies in accordance with residence policy.
Infection Prevention & Control (IPAC)
Visitors are expected to follow all IPAC practices, including:
• Washing or sanitizing hands before, during, and after each visit
• Wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (such as a mask) when required by the residence
Illness Precautions
• When a resident is on illness-related precautions, Essential Visitors only may be permitted.
• General Visitors are encouraged to postpone visits if they are unwell or recently experienced symptoms.
• If a visit is essential to a resident’s mental or physical well-being, visitors may attend while following all required precautions, including wearing a mask if directed.
Respiratory Etiquette
Using proper respiratory etiquette helps reduce the spread of illness. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve rather than your hands. This helps limit the spread of germs; however, it remains important to clean your hands after coughing or sneezing.
Hand Hygiene
Hand hygiene refers to any method of cleaning the hands and is a fundamental part of infection prevention and control. Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth without first cleaning your hands, or coughing or sneezing into your hands, can allow germs to enter the body. Practicing good hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of illness and protect both yourself and others.
