Our residents are at higher risk of serious illness from exposure to COVID-19 and respiratory illnesses. You can help us protect everyone living, working or visiting at our Manors by preventing any potential spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses.
This special bulletin is designed to assure residents, families and visitors to our Manors that The Brenda Strafford Foundation (BSF) is taking all reasonable precautions to prevent the occurrence or spread of COVID-19 in our sites.
As seniors living in continuing care communities are a population that is at higher risk, and out of an abundance of precaution, BSF is taking extra Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures within our sites that are considered over and above the current guidelines for the general public in Alberta at this time.
Please be assured we do not have any suspected cases of COVID-19 at our sites. This very difficult decision to ban visitation is based on recent medical advice and emerging and evolving best practices.
Doors to our sites will be locked to all visitors effective 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 15. All visitors currently on the premises are being asked to leave by 3:00 p.m.
No visitors will be permitted entry until further notice. Exceptions will be made for limited special circumstances only (such as for compassionate reasons in the case of palliative care residents at end of life). Exceptions must be approved by the Administrator of the Manor.
Consider a Virtual Visit. BSF has made arrangements to accommodate virtual visits. Contact your site for details.
No residents will be permitted to exit the building until further notice. Exceptions will be made for essential medical reasons in consultation with physician and care team, or for unique family circumstances in consultation with the site Administrator.
All employees (frontline and business office) are to report to work as usual. The existing screening measures will remain in place for employees entering the building.
For important inquiries please contact your site. We are expecting higher volumes of calls than usual and have extra staff on site to assist with communication. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

In the spirit of respect, reconciliation and gratitude, we honour and acknowledge that our services are provided on the traditional territories of Treaty 7, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy comprising the Siksika, Piikani and Kainai First Nations, the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda First Nation including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Good Stoney Bands. These territories are also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3. We are grateful for the many First Nations who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We acknowledge that we have ongoing responsibilities to protect, honour and celebrate all of life within our shared communities.
