Visit a Client (Transition Care Program)

Visits should ideally be booked in advance. Regulations have been put in place to keep our residents and clients as safe as possible. Please read the instructions below before visiting as regulations can change frequently due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

The following regulations apply for visiting clients from the Transition Care Program (TCP).

If you do not have mobile phone/camera, you can do the RAT on-site. You can also bring in the RAT that they have done at home. If you do this, you need to write your name, date & time ON the RAT cassette with a permanent marker. If you have a negative PCR test result within 24 hours prior to visiting, this will be a substitute for the need for a RAT.
