Moving Forward Together
CTV News London covered the Irish festivities held at McCormick Home to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. (Nick Paparella / CTV News) On March 17, 2021, CTV London News featured a story on the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations at McCormick Home. The day marked the first time that many residents were able to go outdoors and enjoy the sunshine together in more than a year.
After so many months of uncertainty and numerous restrictions for the sake of everyone’s health and safety, we are now beginning to see a glimmer of change on the horizon, most particularly through the measured rollout of vaccines to our residents, staff and our wider community as well as through the introduction of rapid antigen testing.
I am grateful to all our McCormick Home staff for responding so well to our new testing protocols. We know that by remaining steadfast in our commitment to safety, we will one day be able to be together again.
While it is wonderful to see some progress on the COVID-19 front, we know that caution is key. That is why we are being extremely supportive of any changes to the guidelines for our residents, family members, visitors, caregivers and staff, as directed by the Ministry of Long-Term Care.
A Day in the Life
Even though our McCormick Day Program is currently at a reduced capacity because of COVID-19, we are often asked about what a day in the program looks like for our clients. We thought we would provide a peek through our doors and describe our physical environment, our typical daily routines, and the types of person-centred activities we provide.
