Preventing the spread of infection
What can I do to prevent the spread of infection at Baycrest? What should
your family, caregivers and visitors do?
Washing your hands is the best way to prevent an infection.
• Wash your hands well and often during the day. Be sure to wash your hands
before and after taking part in any programs or clinic appointments.
• Your family members, caregivers and visitors must wash their hands when
coming into Baycrest, before entering and after leaving a room, and when
leaving Baycrest. Hand sanitizing stations are located at every entrance and
throughout Baycrest.
Seniors are especially susceptible to illness. Your family, caregivers and visitors
should not come to Baycrest if they are sick.
