Rainycrest - Influenza A Outbreak Declared Over
February 19, 2025
Riverside Health Care, in conjunction with the Northwestern Public
Health Unit, has declared an end to the Influenza A outbreak at Rainycrest Long
Term Care Home affecting the West Wing.
Visitor and resident restrictions are no longer in place. We would
like to remind everyone that we remain a mask-friendly facility, and we
encourage everyone to be diligent in always preventing the spread of infection.
While all restrictions have been lifted, we continue to ask that any individual
experiencing symptoms of illness refrain from visiting our facilities.
Riverside continues to have our detailed safety procedures and
infection prevention control practices in place, which are designed to ensure
the health and safety of our staff, the community, and those within our care.
We understand the challenges posed by an outbreak and thank
everyone for their understanding and continued cooperation and support.
