Visitor Information
Our facilities have open visiting hours, and we encourage family and friends to visit often and to become part of the IOOF Seniors Homes community. Most residents love to see children visiting — but we ask that all children be supervised by an adult, for the safety of residents, the children and others. Family pets are always welcome to visit on a leash. Please ask the Home's staff about any restrictions.
The LTC Home offers a variety of places to have a visit. There are common lounges on the individual resident home areas —and seating areas on the main floor in the lobby or green house. There are also wonderful outdoor areas in the better weather to enjoy, including a gazebo area, gardens and courtyards along with paved paths for outside walking.
Residents are also encouraged to go on visits with family or friends for overnight or longer. In this case, please check with the Nursing team about care requirements and policies that define the length of time a resident may be away from the Home.
Limited visitor parking is available free of charge.
Pet Visitor Immunization Policy
We welcome our furry friends to visit our Home, and it is important for our residents’ well-being to receive four legged visitors. We do require that prior to any pet visiting our Home, they must be up-to-date on their immunizations and a copy of their records sent to Cara Chimienti at cchimienti@ioof.com. Pets that are not immunized or have not provided the necessary paperwork will not be allowed to enter the facility.
Smoking
The LTC Home is completely smoke-free, with smoking permitted only outside in designated locations.
Alcohol
Due to the potential health risk involved with mixing alcohol and medications, a moderate amount of alcohol may be consumed with the approval of the attending physician. For the safety of all residents, we ask that no alcohol be kept in residents' rooms. Please check with the charge nurse about the control measures.
Scent Free
In keeping with resident and staff rights and environmental sensitivities, we ask visitors to restrict the use of scented products when visiting. Please keep this in mind when purchasing gifts for residents.
