NEW (November 12, 2020)
Update and Conversation with Families, hosted by Reena’s CEO, COO – Presentation Slides
Reena, and the developmental services sector as a whole, is following strict guidelines and protocols for people living in congregate living settings. These guidelines and protocols comprise the Resource Toolkit, detailing how we must conduct business to prevent and manage an outbreak, and how to map out our new normal.
We’ve outlined below the contents of the Resource Toolkit; however, as the pandemic evolves, these documents will be updated to reflect any changes. You may visit the COVID-19 Resources for Congregate Living Settings website for any updated information.

In accordance with the Resource Toolkit, we have issued guidelines to instruct families on our visitation and short-stay absence protocols.
These guidelines are subject to change as the COVID-19 situation evolves and will be adjusted to ensure everyone’s safety.
Reena’s Visitation and Short-Stay Absence Guidelines and Forms
- Guidelines for Visitors to Reena Locations (Updated September 10)
- Guidelines for Short-Stay Absences
- Short-Stay Absence Checklist & Sign-Off Form
We must approach these changes responsibly and with caution to protect the health and safety of your family member, their staff, neighbours and visitors. Therefore, as a team, we need to work collectively to ensure these enduring values are followed by practicing these IPAC measures:
Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Practices
- Frequently washing hands
- Maintaining at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from other people whenever possible
- Wearing a mask
