Riverside Health Care in conjunction with the Northwestern Public Health Unit has declared a Respiratory Outbreak at Rainycrest Long Term Care Home.
The outbreak is specific to the Special Care Unit and was declared due to a few residents developing a new or worse cough. As a precautionary measure COVID-19 testing is in progress and to date all tests are negative. We remind the public that this is not a COVID-19 outbreak at this time.
Visiting is not restricted in the home at this time. We request any visits in the Special Care Unit to take place in the Resident’s room and not in common space areas.
The Outbreak Management Team will continue to monitor the situation. The care and safety of our residents, team members and families are a top priority.
We thank everyone for their understanding and continued support at this time.
