Second Wave
From the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, Lacombe Foundation and The Bethany Group have sought to protect residents and staff from any potential exposure and outbreak.
Any orders received from the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) have been implemented not just in the sites under the order but applied in other areas as a best practice. These measures, while often restrictive, were implemented for the health and safety of our most vulnerable population under these circumstances. We have always striven to work with our residents, their families, and staff members to create as healthy and safe environments as possible.
