Hello families,
We would like to provide continuous updates to you in order to keep you informed and abreast of any changes.
So far we have avoided any illness or symptoms, related to COVID-19, within our resident population and continue to be vigilant with our employee’s. We are screening our employee’s on every shift with temperatures being taken, questionnaire screening with our LPN/ RN leadership prior to starting their shift and constant updates via our internal messaging system to all staff under our employ.
Any staff member who works at another facility or industry, has also been requested to report any cases at that work place, automatically causing them to be quarantined for 14 days in self-isolation. We have ceased all non-essential trade work and are meeting with our vendors at our exit doors to collect orders and deliveries as they arrive.
A reminder to all families that you are able to schedule a call with your loved one via our Recreation department utilizing facetime or skype as it permits (kdewald@mayfaircarecentre.com and dbroomfield@glamorgancarecentre.com). Please keep your conversations brief so we may bring this service to as many people as we can daily. Our Nurse cordless phones are for communication to you with updates, with our Doctors for any new or recurring orders and for emergencies. They are not for prolonged conversations with your loved one. Please know your Nurse will call you if there is a change in your loved ones health or a request/ decision that involves you needs to be made. No news, in this instance, is good news. Our Nurses will not call you each day with nothing to report. In the event your loved one is experiencing End-of-life care our Nursing leadership will organise essential visitation for 1-2 family/ friends at a time.
While our “new normal” has no time horizon our residents are generally doing well, are participating in recreation and being tended to as you would expect throughout the day. Our staff remains positive and upbeat despite being in the front line of this virus.
Our entire team thanks you for your continued support and well wishes. Your messages are encouraging and uplifting.
Thank you,
Mayfair & Glamorgan Management team

COVID-19 UPDATE
COVID-19 Update

Dear family members,
While AHS continues to provide updated information on the Covid-19, we also want to ensure that you are on board in making sure that your family members, under our care, are protected to the best of our ability as they are the population at highest risk. If you have just returned from a trip, or are planning future travels, we strongly recommend that you avoid visiting the facility for at least 14 days from your return, unless approved by nursing management. Below is a link from AHS that outlines precautions and is also posted on our front doors for all visitors. While in the facility, please use proper hand hygiene techniques and avoid physical contact where possible. Please note all staff have been directed similarly and are audited each month as per AHS standards. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Christie Elefante at celefante@mayfaircarecentre.com. Sincerely, Stuart Williamson o/b Mayfair CC Clinical Management https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/ppih/if-ppih-covid-ipc-continuing-care-poster.pdf |

A message from the Hospitality Manager:
Dear families,
With Spring finally arriving in Calgary, our outside patios, courtyards and benches are open to our residents and their families alike.
Our grounds crew will begin the arduous task of beautifying the gardens and clearing any debris left from Winter. Please be mindful when walking on the lawns for roots and any uneven areas.
You may of noticed the hedges have been removed due to a disease that was killing them. They will grow back in time, but during this process, please avoid stepping over or through the garden beds.
With the warmer weather comes access to our designated outdoor smoking area. This area is located on the west side of our front lawn. A bench and outdoor ashtray have been provided for the comfort and safety of resident’s.
Under NO circumstance are residents or family permitted to smoke outdoors in any other location. This includes the front patios, the chairs and the curb in front of the entrance.
Second hand smoke as well as the risk of fire make these areas off limits. We appreciate your cooperation and support of this by-law. Signage is posted for easy reference.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me directly at stuart@mayfaircarecentre.com or by phone at 403.648.4212.
Happy Spring and Summer!

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

A message from the Hospitality Manager:
Our dining room is undergoing a small but impactful change by replacing the table tops, with a much brighter and modern quartz product.
However, this change will make the tables heavier and more difficult to move without proper technique and equipment.
We would ask families to refrain from lifting or dragging these tables to avoid being injured or damaging them.
Staff have been informed and trained accordingly to utilize the proper equipment during those times rearrangement is necessary.
We thank you for your compliance and look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

NEW NURSE CALL SYSTEM
In February 2015, our care team finalized the installation of a state of the art Austco nurse call system. The goal of our project was to be able to consistently evaluate how long it takes for Residents to get help at the bedside or in their washrooms. We track roughly 10,000 calls per month from our Residents and can proudly demonstrate that our average response time is under one minute.
It is our hope going forward that we can sustain Resident safety and use this system to maintain accountability with our staff to show families that we are using technology to compliment the bedside manor in providing compassionate care.
