Message from our CEO, Tom Wellner: August 26

Dear Residents and Families

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on the people who live in long term care and retirement residences. Over the last year and a half, we have worked together to protect those in our care from the worst outcomes from the pandemic, and sadly, our work is not yet done. Variants of concern are more contagious than ever and pose a higher risk of transmission compared to the original strain of COVID-19.

As an industry leader, Revera has decided to update its vaccine policy. Effective October 12, vaccination against COVID-19 will be mandatory for Revera staff across Canada. This policy applies to all employees, agency staff, students, volunteers, and contractors at all Revera sites, including the Support Office, who must be vaccinated unless they are medically unable.

Revera Launches Expert Advisory Panel Report
Over the summer and early fall, Revera engaged an external panel of professionals with national and international experience in areas of medicine, health policy, aging and geriatrics, and healthcare infrastructure, to examine the first wave of the pandemic and identify practical and actionable opportunities for improvement, both for Revera and for the entire sector. We would like to thank our Expert Advisory Panel for their hard work and insights and especially Dr. Bob Bell who volunteered his time as Chair of the Panel, and who retained editorial control of the report.
