Update and key information on the response to the COVID-19 outbreak on the 2nd and 5th Floor of Chelsey Park Long Term Care
In line with our commitment to provide timely and transparent updates, we would like to share that we received confirmation from the public health unit that 16 residents and 9 members of our staff have tested positive for COVID-19 on the 2nd and 5th Floor of Chelsey Park Long-Term Care Home. This was detected by our regular nasal swab surveillance testing. These staff members are currently isolating and recovering at home. It is with deep sadness that we share that 6 residents have passed as a result of this virus.
All staff are required to participate in surveillance testing as directed by the local public health unit.
With community spread being a major concern, this regular testing will help us detect new positive staff or asymptomatic staff early and limit the risk of potential exposure to our residents.
We are working closely with Public Health, with our Medical Directors, our Epidemiologist and with Extendicare’s Infection Prevention and Control specialists and are following their directives. As well, our enhanced infection prevention and control measures remain in place such as symptom screening our residents and team members a minimum of twice daily, terminal cleaning of high-touch surfaces, ensuring that all our staff are wearing masks and personal protective equipment and revisiting our infection prevention and control protocols to ensure they are being religiously followed.

LONDON, ONTARIO
Although London does have a Thames River, a Covent Garden Market and a Piccadilly Street, don’t mistaken it with London, England. Instead, this London is a substantially smaller city in Southwestern Ontario that is surrounded by woodlands and farmlands. In fact, it is known as ‘The Forest City’ because when it was first formed it was done so by clearing land in the middle of a forest.
“On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to thank each and every one of you for the genuine care and compassion that you showed not only to my father but also to the other residents of our home. I tell everyone who asks about the excellent care he received there.”
– JH, Resident Family Member
