It’s finally here. Our long-awaited BBQ season is launching this Saturday!

This season BBQs will be held every second Monday except for this Saturday (24th) and for Canada Day (July 1st).

With the end of COVID precautionary measures, we invited back the families to join our residents at these events.

The prices will be 40.00$ for an adult and 20.00$ for children.

We have all heard that Montreal is going orange and, no, it is not about our famous traffic cones. But what does this mean for our residents, our employees and for you?

We finally resumed all our activities at the Château.

Indeed, zootherapy, music therapy, and other activities are all back.

The concerts have been held throughout the summer and will continue for throughout the month, but they will be held indoors in the lobby.

We are also happy to announce that we have new arrivals among our staff. We have a new clinical nutritionist, Anastasia Roumbas, and a new recreation manager, Amanda Rasoolzadeh.

You can reach Ms. Rasoolzadeh at extension 219.

Finally, this is the long-awaited moment, we will open the garden for visits from family members starting Monday, June 15, and this, seven days a week (7/7). On the other hand, there will be rules that you will have to follow.

  1. As with video conferencing, you will need to register in advance via an online booking schedule, the time slots for visits are 45 minutes. We must allow 15 minutes between each visit to disinfect the tables.
  2. A maximum of two visitors per resident will be accepted, in order to respect the social distance required by Public Health;
  3. Hand washing and the wearing of the mask and gloves that will be given to you at the entrance to the garden is mandatory;
  4. There will be no contact with residents;
  5. If you bring gifts, you will have to leave them at the main entrance for disinfection, they will be given to the resident later;

You must understand that our residents are still at risk. Having had no contamination inside our walls, they do not have antibodies to protect them. We have therefore developed these measures to allow the families and our residents to be closer together without sacrificing their health.

In addition, since the visits will allow up to six (6) families at the same time, we will have to reduce the number of videoconferencing. We will only have one tablet assigned to Zoom conferences (so 1 employee) per day during the week. In order not to penalize anyone, we will cancel the meetings already booked for June 15 and subsequent dates. Those who still wish to take advantage of this mode of communication will have to re-book a date on the calendar.

We are preparing for the opening of the garden for residents’ visits scheduled for June 15. This means that we need to change the availability of video conferencing and prepare a new booking schedule for visits.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RESERVATION SYSTEM IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

Booking schedules for video conferences and garden visits will be back in service shortly.

Thank you for your patience

We are almost ready to start the visits from family members in the garden of the Château. We are only waiting for the reception of a marquee that will allow holding these meetings even when the weather is not cooperating.

To help us prepare for these meetings we would like you to fill out a 2-question survey that will allow us to know the preferences of families for visiting hours.

You can complete the survey by clicking here

See you soon

It is with great regret that we must notify you of the departure of Mrs. Salvina Astorino, our activities technician.

Salvina has advised us that she is taking a well-deserved retirement. We will organize, when the deconfinement allows it, a farewell party for her.
