Respiratory Outbreak expanded to facility wide at Rainycrest Long Term Care
October 01, 2025
Riverside Health Care, in conjunction with the Northwestern Public Health Unit, has expanded the respiratory outbreak facility wide at Rainycrest Long Term Care Home.
Visitor restrictions and masking protocols are in place. Only two (2) visitors or caregivers may visit at a time, and visitors should only visit one resident per visit. In addition, visitations with residents must take place in the residents’ rooms, not in common areas.
Medical masking is required for all visitors. Staff may also require visitors to wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the circumstances.
There are currently restrictions on admissions, transfers, discharges. Large group social activities for residents are cancelled until further notice.
Riverside urges all visitors to conduct a self-screening before entering our facilities. Individuals experiencing symptoms are kindly asked not to visit at that time. We continue to emphasize the importance of good hand hygiene and encourage everyone to be mindful of these practices when visiting.
We understand the difficulties and strain outbreak restrictions can create, and we extend our appreciation for your understanding and commitment to safety during this time. Our Outbreak Management Team will continue to monitor the situation.
The care and safety of our residents and families and our team members are our top priority.
