A number of Saskatchewan Health Authority facilities and long-term care homes are moving to Level 3 family presence, effective today (Thurs).
“Level 3 Family Presence means that two family/support members can be present at the same time for end-of-life care only.” the Health Authority said in a news release. “One essential family/support person can be designated to assist with care if needed (self-care, mobility, nutrition and behavioural needs). Additional family presence can be supported for the specific circumstances, including critical care, intensive care, maternal, postpartum or pediatric units. ”
No other visitors are allowed, until the SHA deem it safe to return to the previous level.
