🍂Courtyard Door Seasonal Hours
Please note that the courtyard doors are now closed and locked for the winter season due to icy and slippery outdoor conditions. We appreciate your understanding in helping us keep everyone safe during the colder months.
❄️Winter Safety Reminder for Residents & Visitors
Winter conditions are here! Please be reminded that outdoor walkways and sidewalks are cleared as soon as reasonably possible, but ice or snow may build up between clearing times.
For Smokers & Outdoor Breaks: If you are going outside, pathways may not be fully cleared by the time you head out. Please ensure you wear appropriate winter clothing and supportive, anti-slip winter footwear (crampons/ice cleats are strongly recommended).

Important Operational Guidelines:
🍽️ Visitors at Mealtime Guidelines
To ensure the safety, comfort, and dignity of all residents, Golden Age Manor has established the following mealtime guidelines for visitors:
Main Dining Room Seating: Visitors and family members are not permitted to sit with residents at their tables during mealtimes in the main dining room. Dining room seating is limited, some residents prefer privacy, and minimizing foot traffic reduces virus introduction risks with flu season approaching.
Private Meal Arrangements: We warmly encourage families to join their loved ones for meals! With a minimum of 2 hours' advance notice, we will gladly arrange a comfortable dining area away from the main dining room for you to enjoy a meal together. Notice can be given to the Front Desk or directly to the LPN on duty.
Get Involved!
