Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) and Outbreak Management: Important Information for Residents, Families and Visitors 

Our residents are at higher risk of serious illness from exposure to COVID-19 and respiratory illnesses. As seniors living in continuing care communities are a population that is at higher risk, BSF is taking all reasonable, necessary and proactive Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures to prevent the occurrence or spread of COVID-19 within our sites. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation at this time, for the health and safety of all those who live, work and visit our sites.   

While we are currently focused on enhanced health and safety measures, we continue to be guided by our core value ‘People First.’ People are always at the centre of everything we do!
