March 18, 2022 – St. John’s, NL: Eastern Health advises the public of upcoming changes to visitor restrictions at Blue Crest Nursing Home in Grand Bank, originally implemented on March 6, 2022, due to COVID-19.
Effective tomorrow, March 19, 2022, each resident is permitted to have one designated visitor. Palliative care and end-of-life visitation should be discussed with the health-care team. Immediate family members may contact their assigned unit or the site at 709-832-1660 for further information.
This is a temporary measure to assist in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and will be reassessed regularly to determine when visitation can safely resume.
Eastern Health reminds visitors of ongoing COVID-19 protocols in place at health-care facilities, including COVID-19 self-screening for visitors/support persons and masking requirements.
Visitor restrictions during the pandemic have been critically important to the safety of our residents, patients, staff and physicians.
