Environmental Department We hope you all have been enjoying the warm weather! Birds are singing, flowers are lovely and everyone seems to be smiling. Please remember to our pesky pests, make sure you have all food in baggies or sealed containers, this will help to keep them away. Also, families who visit the LTC side and are bringing in clothing please remember the procedure for labelling: ** Take the clothing to the nurses station and Nursing staff will place in a clear bag with the residents name and what is in the bag on it. This will ensure they get to laundry to label. We document the date and items labelled in the log book.** On another note, any maintenance requests you need to please inform nursing staff and they will log in out maintenance book. The requests are picked up Monday to Friday by maintenance. Glenna Grimmer Director of Environmental Services Nursing Department The hot weather has certainly arrived! We continue to work on regulating the temperate within the building as we transition to our new system. As you enjoy the warm weather with your loved one remember to stay hydrated.
