Following the recommendations of Public Health and the RHRA Norfolk Manor staff will be asked to voluntarily subject themselves to covid testing every 2 weeks commencing July 2 , 2020. For convenience the testing will be done in- house with the support of Public Health.

At this time visitors are not being asked to be tested.

As of June 20th health care practioners are not being allowed in. Previously only doctors and essential care providers such as public health, RHRA representatives, ambulance or assessors with the palliative care team.

Now Physio therapists, occupational therapists, mental health support, wound care, rpn or rn care services etc. are being allowed in following stict screening protocols.

Limiting outside traffic seems prudent as we look to slowly open and keep our residents potential exposure to community to a minimum.

Today Public Health declared the Covid Outbreak at Norfolk Manor over. Residents, staff and resident families were relieved to receive the results and were pleased that changes to protocols and procedures proved effective.

We will keep you posted as we move to establish our new normal. Please keep posted by following us on facebook.

Our Mock Evacuation was a terrific success.  Norfolk Manor staff and residents participated in their annual mock evacuation as part of their ongoing emergency preparedness & training. They conducted a horizontal evacuation of each floor followed by a vertical evacuation of the building. They then took full advantage of the wonderful day and had a BBQ lunch. Things went along smooth and the burgers & shandies on the patio were terrific. Thanks to our health & safety team and the flexibility of our dietary team to pull this of..
