Arnprior’s Grove Nursing Home has been declared on COVID-19 outbreak.
Through the routine biweekly surveillance, one staff member received a ‘detected’ result, which is considered a positive test.
This individual has been retested and is currently self-isolating at home for 14 days.
At this time, there are no other confirmed cases at the Grove.
The focus is now on containment.
The Grove team is working in partnership with Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU) and the Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) Infection Prevention and Control team to implement outbreak protocols to effectively manage the situation.
There are protocol changes to note: only one designated caregiver can visit each resident (reduced from two).
All outdoor visits are temporarily suspended (indoor visits were already paused)
Recreation programs are on hold.
ARH is currently awaiting direction from RCDHU about the possible testing of all residents and staff.
