Please keep in mind if you are planning on visiting The Cedars:
In recognition of the added layer of protection provided by the COVID-19 vaccines and given the vulnerability of seniors in assisted living even when fully immunized themselves, individuals visiting seniors’ assisted living residences (both essential and social visitors) must be fully
immunized against COVID-19, excluding children under 12 years or those with an approved medical exemption.
Proof of vaccination (e.g., BC Vaccine Passport) is required at the time of entry into the facility.
Visitors who do not demonstrate that they are fully immunized will not be able to enter a facility, including passing through the facility to access an outdoor space.
Exceptions related to compassionate care such as end-of-life care, will be
considered on an individual case basis with additional preventative measures required to support visits involving partially or unvaccinated individuals.
Fully immunized visitors will be required to wear a medical mask while moving through the facility and in common areas.
When visiting a resident in a single-bed room or outdoors, fully immunized visitors are not required to wear a mask.
Visitors who do not demonstrate that they are fully immunized may visit outdoors in a space that does not require entry to or passage through the facility.
Effective October 12, 2021:
• Visitors who do not demonstrate that they are either partially or fully vaccinated will not be able to enter a facility (excluding children under 12 years or those with an approved medical exemption);
• Visitors are required to show proof of vaccination prior to entry, including if only to pass through the facility
to access an outdoor space;
Effective November 30, 2021:
• Visitors must demonstrate they are fully vaccinated to enter a facility (excluding children under 12 years or those with an approved medical exemption)
Full vaccination/immunization for COVID-19 is considered as seven days after receiving the full series of a World Health Organization (WHO) approved COVID-19 vaccine or a combination of approved WHO vaccines.
