We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has been hard for you - being separated from your loved one during this challenging time is difficult.
We want you to know that our family members and visitors are an important part of our Kensington community, and we are thinking of you. We want to be there for you and help you embrace special moments with your loved one safely.
To ensure that you are able to have meaningful moments with your loved ones, we are supporting outdoor visitation once a week with each resident, and in-room visitation daily for essential visitors. We are so pleased to be starting this new chapter in our journey, and we look forward to seeing you again.
We’ve put together an overview of what visitation will look like at Kensington Hospice and the different precautions we have in place to keep you, your loved one and our community safe, which you can find below. Throughout the pandemic, we will adapt our visitation rules to ensure that we are following the direction of Toronto Public Health and the Ministry of Health.
We are taking a careful, phased approach to having visitors. Over time, we intend on increasing visiting capacity. Please see below for important information about your upcoming visit.
Thank you in advance for your patience as we continue to put your loved one’s health first.
All scheduled visits will be held outdoors in our garden area unless you are an essential visitor, if death is imminent or after death (more information on in-room visitation below).
Visiting hours: We will be scheduling outdoor visits once a week for up to one hour between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.
How to book your visit: To schedule your visit, please give us a call at 416-963-9640 ext. 1428, or email Benhilda Chirisa, Administrative Assistant, at bchirisa@kensingtonhealth.org.
Number of visitors: There is no maximum on the number of visitors allowed outside, but we ask that you maintain physical distance and wear a mask throughout your visit.
Visiting cancelled if on COVID-19 outbreak: If there is a COVID-19 outbreak at the hospice, all visits will be cancelled until the outbreak is declared over.
Please bring your mask: For your visit, you are required to bring in your own non-medical grade mask.
There will be no bathroom access: Outdoor visitors are permitted from using the bathroom at this time.
COVID-19 testing is not required for outdoor visits.
Arrival: When you arrive, you will be screened outside of the hospice at the front door. The resident will be assisted outside by the hospice team and will meet you in the designated area.
Distancing: During your visit, you must maintain 2 meters (6 feet) physical distancing at all times.
To ensure you are able to have meaningful moments with your loved ones, we will also be supporting in-room visitation for essential visitors, or when death is imminent or after death. The Ministry identifies essential visitors as those who have a resident who is dying or very ill. We will identify all essential visitors at the time of your loved one’s admission.
Visiting hours: We will be scheduling daily in-room visits for essential visitors for up to two hours between 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Sunday.
How to book your visit: To schedule your visit, please give us a call at 416-963-9640 ext. 1428, or email Benhilda Chirisa, Administrative Assistant, at bchirisa@kensingtonhealth.org at least 24 hours before your visit. Exceptions may be made based on our clinical team’s assessment of your loved one.
Number of visitors: For now, there will be a maximum of four essential visitors daily, and two essential visitors at a time.
Vaccination status and testing: Please bring in proof of your vaccination status. If you haven’t been fully vaccinated, you may be required to do a COVID-19 rapid test at The Gardens. If a rapid test isn’t possible, you may have to wear full PPE, including gown, which will be provided by the hospice.
Arrival: When you arrive, you will be screened at the front door.
Infection prevention and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use: You will be given a surgical mask and face shield after you’ve been screened, which is required to wear while in the hospice.
If you haven’t been fully vaccinated, you may be required to do a COVID-19 rapid test at The Gardens. If a rapid test isn’t possible, you may have to wear full PPE including gown, which will be provided by the hospice.
If a resident is on droplet and contact precautions, you must wear full PPE, which will be provided by the Hospice.
Proper hand hygiene and physical distancing must be practiced at all times.
You must remain in your loved one’s room: During your visit, you will only be allowed access to your loved one’s room.
Bathroom access: If you are coming in for an in-room visit, you are allowed to use the washroom located on the first floor behind the reception.
Meals: You can use the fridge in the room for your meals and snacks.
Special arrangements will be made to accommodate visitation outside of the regular visiting hours, if death is imminent.
There will be a maximum of two visitors at a time, other visitors will be asked to remain outside until it is safe for them to come in for their visit. This limitation ensures that we are able to safely provide care while also meeting the requirements pertaining to physical distancing. Overnight visitors may stay if requested.
As a way of helping support families to honour their loved one, we are permitting one visitation after death. The visitation will last one hour, and you may visit day or night after consultation with the hospice nurse.
The hospice team will be responsible for the after-death care of your loved one. The funeral home personnel are only permitted to enter the hospice if they are fully vaccinated.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use: You will be given PPE to wear while inside the hospice. Throughout your visit, please maintain six feet of physical distancing at all times.
Bathroom access: You are allowed to use the washroom located on the first floor behind the reception.
Picking up your loved one’s belongings: If you are unable to visit after death, we can arrange for you to pick up your loved one’s belongings at reception.
Two visitors may accompany their loved one on their first day of admission to the hospice for up-to one hour. If a resident isn’t fully vaccinated, for the first 14 days of admission, your loved one will be placed on a 14-day droplet and contact precaution isolation. In this time, there will be no garden visitations allowed, but we can always help arrange a virtual visit. If you would like to book one, please contact us.
As a way of ensuring that we are supporting families to stay connected, we are providing virtual visits from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you would like to book one, please contact us.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. We are here for you. A member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.
