McCormick Care Group – COVID-19 Update

Monday, November 30, 2020

This is a McCormick Care Group – COVID-19 Update for Monday, November 30, 2020.  We will continue to provide these updates twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays, or as needed.

There are no probable or suspected cases of COVID-19 among our residents or staff at this time.

The Ministry of Long-Term Care provided an update last week that they will be suspending long-term care resident co-payment rate increases for the entire 2020-21 rate cycle (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021). The rate increase that would have gone into effect in January 2021 will no longer take place. Rate increases are now scheduled to resume in July 2021. Your current accommodation charges will not change until at least July 2021.

Just a reminder that there will be a family update meeting with the administrator via Zoom on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, at 12:30 p.m.  We will discuss updated protocols, review education requirements and screening processes, and answer any questions you may have.  If you have any agenda items you would like me to discuss, please let me know.  I will resend the Zoom details out on Tuesday, December 1, 2020, to allow you to join in.

Have a wonderful day,

Tanya Pol
Administrator
