Dear Families and Friends of Tabor Village:

It's been a strange year and a long few months that feels like years. We just want to say thank you! Thank you for your patience, grace, understanding, and flexibility. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to keep up with and follow the many ever-changing policies and protocols that we keep throwing at you. We have some truly amazing families here across Tabor Village and are very grateful for all of you for sticking with us through these challenging and often mentally exhausting times.

We know it has been a hard year for many and our hearts go out to all of you. Keep hanging in there as this too shall pass, in time.

As much as we love summer, the heat can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke, stress, irritation, dehydration, and can be dangerous, especially for the older adults we are caring for or those with pre-existing health conditions.

We recommend purchasing fans for your loved ones if you haven't already to ensure they stay cool. We have implemented our Heat Stress plan including the following:

Restrictions have loosened around the province, but there is still a pandemic and cases have been rising due to large gatherings of people and the lack of safety measures being followed.

We have a responsibility to ourselves, to staff and to our fellow families and residents to regularly practice all safety measures and guidance from Dr. Bonnie Henry. The only way we will ensure COVID-19 does NOT enter our buildings is by adhering to all Provincial Health safety guidelines and by doing it together.

We love seeing designated visitors coming in and the joy it brings to residents/tenants and would very much like to see this continue. If an outbreak were to occur however, visits would cease immediately and outbreak protocol would be implemented, as per the direction of Provincial Health.

With that said, please be safe out there and remember to practice the safety guidelines recommended by Dr. Bonnie Henry.

If you are a Designated Visitor, you will have received our notice that no food or drink can be brought with the visitor to give to your loved one at the time of the visit, as per Fraser Health.

All deliveries will continue to follow our current policy of the 24-48 hour holding period and will be delivered by staff. No perishable items are permitted, only those that can sit for 24-48 hours.

If your loved one has a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion and you would like to celebrate with food, we are happy to provide a cupcake from our very own talented kitchen team for your loved one. If this is something you would like for your loved one, please put your request in to Vanessa Aparicio with a minimum of 3 days notice.
