Message from Inverary Manor: Indoor Visits to Begin Soon On Friday July 19, 2020, Dr. Strang, the Chief Medical Officer of Nova Scotia announced that Long Term Care Homes in NS may introduce indoor visits for families of Residents, effective July 22, 2020. He also explained that each Home will need time to put in place the practices that will work for their facility and meet the new Directives of Public Health. As such, each Home will determine the timing for introducing indo...or visits to Families of Residents. Inverary Manor is very pleased with this announcement for families and residents who have been physically separated for months. We are working on a plan that will provide opportunities for families and residents to reconnect indoors and do so in a way that meets the protocols laid out by Public Health. We anticipate indoor visits may begin at Inverary Manor by the end of July. Once our plan is established later this week, we will share details with families of our residents and the community. It is our goal to ensure indoor visits are introduced in a responsible way to support the family/resident relationships while maintaining the safety of visitors, residents and our employees. On behalf of all employees at Inverary Manor, I want to thank residents, families and our community for your continued understanding, support and patience as we work out the details. Sincerely, Stephen Doiron Administrator Inverary Manor

Message from Administrator Inverary Manor We have received much feedback about our Court Yard visits and appreciate your comments. We are very fortunate that the design and security features of Inverary Manor allow for the safe enjoyment of the outdoors for Residents, in this time of a world-wide pandemic. It also allows us to offer outdoor visits in a way that is consistent with Directives from the Office of The Chief Medical Officer for NS, including the requirements... to adhere to social distancing guidelines and maintain the 5 person gathering rule. Visitors do not actually come into our court yards (or enter our building). Family of our Residents are well acquainted with the property at Inverary Manor and understand that our Court Yards are gated. There is a barrier on the inside of each courtyard which creates a space of about 25 feet between the Resident (who will be inside the courtyard) and the visitor(s) who are outside the gate. Courtyard visits will take place under the following guidelines: Visits must be pre-scheduled by contacting the individual Villa where a resident is living. No more than 2 visitors from a family household, per resident, per visit. Visits will be a maximum of 15-20 minutes Visitors are to come to the designated courtyard at the pre-scheduled time and stand outside the gate to see and talk with their loved one. A staff member will accompany your loved one to the courtyard and remain there during the visit. We ask families when they arrive on our premises to wait until after a visiting party has left the gated area before approaching the courtyard gate. The safety and well being of our Residents are always at the forefront of our decisions. Inverary Manor continues to explore ways to address the companionship needs of our Residents and connection with their families. As the days are getting warmer, we look forward to the opportunity for our Residents to enjoy the outdoors and also connect with loved ones in a safe and responsible manner, always working within and adhering to the necessary directives of the Office of The Chief Medical Officer, Public Health. Stephen Doiron, Administrator

Regarding purchasing items for residents at Inverary Manor through the "Pay it forward Fairies - Inverness" Due to the restrictions still in place, this wonderful idea will have to wait until restrictions are lifted. At that point I'm sure ALL 71 residents would love a treat. Thank you for thinking of them.
