COVID-19

Updated:  December 18, 2024

 In line with hospitals and other healthcare organizations in the area, we will return to some masking and screening at Huron Hospice Bender House to protect residents, families, volunteers and staff.

1.    Masks are optional for residents and visitors inside the bedroom suites.

2.     Masks will be worn by any staff or volunteer entering a bedroom suite. 

3.     All staff, volunteers and visitors will be screened at the door when arriving for work, a volunteer shift or a visit. 

 These components of our policy have been developed in concert with our leadership team, clinical staff, and medical director (Dr. Meagan Nolan) and are informed by recommendations from Huron Perth Public Health, healthcare partners in this region and the Chief Medical Officer of Health for Ontario. If you have questions about our COVID policies, please contact our Executive Director, Willy Van Klooster, by e-mail at willy.vanklooster@huronhospice.ca or by telephone at (519) 525-6856.
