The Simkin Centre acknowledges how difficult
and stressful it is to be away from your loved ones; as a result, you can now
book a 15 minute FaceTime, Skype, or window visit appointment with your loved
one by clicking the link below. Staff are in place to monitor the
schedule and to support your visit.

Hello! We understand how hard it is for you and your
loved one to be separated from each other.
We
have set up ways for you to connect with this using FaceTime. If you would like us to arrange a time for you
to talk to your loved one, face to face, we will need the following information
from you:
- Your full name, cell number and
who you wish to contact.
- Please include what days and
times are best for you to connect.
We will begin working on a schedule. If there is a very large request for
more times and evenings, we will figure that out. But, this is a start!
- Email to
janet.conrad@simkincentre.ca
If
you do not have the technology to FaceTime, we can discuss other options as we
are open to set up anything for you to see and get peace of mind that your
loved one is doing great.
We
should be putting this all together by Monday (March 23) and will be able to
start this process of connecting you and your loved one.
At
this time, it is also recommended that you keep in contact by phone, but you
can also deliver to the front door care packages of little notes, pictures
(maybe something colored by the grandchildren), fresh baking or other treats
you feel that your loved one might enjoy.
Also, you can put essential items in there if that is something you’ve
been doing. We will make sure that all
are delivered. Just please have these
items placed in a box or bag clearly marked with their name on it.
The
Therapeutic Recreation staff are working hard to continue recreation activities
on each unit and bringing joy and happiness into all our residents’ lives. Please check our Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/simkincentre)
and Instagram (instagram.com/simkincentre).
We
are looking forward to getting all of your contact information! Be well!
Alyssa, Heather,
Lori, Olga and Cathy from the Therapeutic Recreation Department and Lori and
Marilyn from the Spiritual Health Department
