Riverside Health Care, in conjunction with the Northwestern Public Health Unit, has declared a Gastrointestinal Outbreak on the East Wing of Rainycrest Long Term Care Home.
Enhanced visitor restrictions are in place. Only two (2) visitors or caregivers may visit at a time,
and visitors should only visit one resident per visit. In addition, visitations with residents must

Riverside urges all visitors to conduct a self-screening before entering our facilities. Individuals
experiencing symptoms are kindly asked not to visit at that time.
There are currently restrictions on admissions, transfers, discharges. Large group social
activities for residents on the East Wing are cancelled until further notice.
We continue to emphasize the importance of good hand hygiene and encourage everyone to
be mindful of these practices when visiting the Home.
The Outbreak Management Team will continue to monitor the situation. The care and safety of
our residents, team members and families are a top priority.
We thank everyone for their understanding and continued support at this time.
