Visiting Guidelines: Making the Most of Your Visit to Meighen Health Centre
Visiting a loved one in a long-term care or retirement residence is not just a routine event; it’s an opportunity to connect, share, and create joyful moments together. At Meighen Health Centre, we strive to make every visit as pleasant and meaningful as possible. This blog post outlines our visiting guidelines designed to enhance the experience for both our residents and their visitors, ensuring that every encounter is safe, enjoyable, and enriching.
Planning Your Visit
Scheduling Visits To ensure that all residents receive the attention and care they deserve without disruption, we encourage visitors to schedule their visits in advance. This helps our staff provide the best possible experience for everyone involved. Visitors can easily schedule their visits through our dedicated phone line or website.
Best Times to Visit While we welcome visitors during our operating hours, it’s helpful to plan your visit during non-peak times, such as mid-morning or early afternoon. These times tend to be quieter, allowing for more personal interaction with your loved one.
During Your Visit
Sign-In and Health Screenings Upon arrival, all visitors are required to sign in and undergo a brief health screening to ensure the safety of our community. This screening helps prevent the spread of illnesses and protects both our residents and staff.
Visitor Conduct We ask all visitors to be mindful of our community’s atmosphere. Keeping noise to a respectful level and adhering to our guidelines helps maintain a peaceful environment for all residents. Additionally, we encourage positive and uplifting interactions, as the emotional well-being of our residents is paramount.
Engaging Activities to Do During Your Visit
Stroll in the Garden Our beautifully landscaped gardens are perfect for a leisurely walk or a relaxing sit-down. Enjoying the outdoors together can be refreshing and stimulating for residents, especially during good weather.
Join in on Scheduled Activities Visitors are welcome to participate in scheduled activities during their visit. Whether it’s an art class, a musical performance, or a therapeutic session, engaging in activities together can enhance the visit and provide delightful shared experiences.
Meal Sharing If your visit coincides with meal times, you may join your loved one for a meal. Please inform us in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements. Sharing a meal is a wonderful way to make the visit feel more home-like and special.
