COVID-19 Precautions
What impact will COVID-19 have on our operations? This is a question we are all asking as we wonder how long before we are safe from COVID-19 and how will we respond to future viral challenges.
-
- The Bartlett, including the on site Bistro will operate based on local and provincial health guidelines and directives
- Social distancing will be monitored and staff will have appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (i.e. wearing masks). We will be in “lease-up” mode for the first 6-12 months and so anticipate little constraint for tenants wishing to dine in The Bistro due to a smaller number of patrons (current Phase 3 guidelines for restaurants)
- Residents can order food for pick up or delivery, reducing the need to shop for groceries
- Our model does not require a lot of staff, helping to reduce exposure. Cleaning staff will be on site 7 days/week to ensure cleanliness (disinfection) in all common areas
- The 24-hour concierge desk can restrict access to outsiders if required (i.e. non-essential persons); this can include managing deliveries from third parties
- All people coming and going in the residence can be screened for COVID-19 symptoms. Hand sanitizer will be accessible at all entry points to the building. Masks will be made available as required
- Residents will have access to medical care if needed in the 24-hour primary and urgent care seniors’ clinic on site
- Residents will have access to pharma care, including delivery via the concierge desk and home care services if needed, through the clinic
