Notice to Family and Friends re: Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Tsawaayuus (Rainbow Gardens) is working in partnership with Island Health and the Ministry of Health to implement safety and preventative measures for coronavirus (COVID-19). Our priority is to protect our residents and staff based on current recommendations. As this is an evolving situation, we are making changes daily to provide the best possible care to your family member or friend living here at Tsawaayuus (Rainbow Gardens).

At this time, only essential visits are allowed (for residents who are critically ill or receiving end-of-life care). Eligible visitors must pass screening criteria and visits are limited to one visitor per resident. Children and youth who are school aged and younger are asked not to visit at this time.

Please refrain from sending food and gifts to your loved one as this may pose an exposure risk to coronavirus (COVID-19).

Thank you for your cooperation, patience and understanding during this challenging time.

Volunteering 

The Auxillary2019-05-23T22:44:09+00:00

The Auxiliary has many fund raising events each year, such as the spring plant, bake and rummage sale. The Christmas craft and bake sale is also very popular. A lot of volunteer time is put into these events, as they raise money for our Resident extras.

The money raised by these events goes directly back to the Residents, to enhance their quality of life while at Tsawaayuus. The Auxiliary has purchased items such as a large flat screen television, a fridge for our kitchenette as well as lovely Christmas Gifts each year.
