Arnprior Regional Health announced that residents at the Grove Nursing Home received the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday.

We are thrilled vaccination day has arrived at the Grove, said Judith Gilchrist, vice-president of Long-Term Care at Arnprior Regional Health. Our team has worked diligently to complete the Ontario government’s readiness checklist and established the logistics to get the vaccine in arms as soon as it arrived on site.

A province-wide lckdown comes into effect on Boxing Day to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The shutdown will not have the same impact on our Arnprior Regional Health operations as it did in the spring.
Beginning December 26th, Clinical care and services (including elective procedures and diagnostic imaging) will continue as planned.
At the Grove, only one designated caregiver will be allowed to visit each resident; however, window visits will continue to be accommodated.
There are no changes to essential caregiver access (for residents at end-of-life).
At the Hospital, patients and clients can only have essential caregivers visit or attend appointments.
