Construction (as if Covid wasn't Enough....)

 We're looking forward to seeing you again, but we've had to change how we do things here at quinnrehab.   Before you arrive at your appointment, please complete the emailed COVID screening that will be sent approximately 16 hours before your appointment. If you cannot access your email, please review the following questions.

If you answer YES to ANY of the following questions, please DO NOT come to your appointment or enter the clinic.
 

1. Have you traveled outside of Canada in the past 14 days?

2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19 or had close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 without wearing appropriate PPE?

3.  Do you have any of the following symptoms?

•  Fever

•  New onset of cough

•  Worsening chronic cough

•  Shortness of breath

•  Difficulty breathing

•  Sore throat

•  Difficulty swallowing

•  Decrease of loss of sense of taste or smell

•  Chills

•  Headaches

•  Unexplained fatigue/malaise/muscle aches (myalgias)

•  Nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain

•  Pink eye (conjunctivitis)

•  Runny nose or nasal congestion without other known cause

4. If you are 70 years of age or older, are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?

• Delirium

• Unexplained or increased number of falls

• Acute functional decline

• Worsening of chronic conditions

Again, if you answer YES to any of the screening questions, please DO NOT attend your appointment. Call us to cancel, and call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit at 705-721-7520 or 1-877-721-7520 ext.5829), or your primary care provider’s office to arrange testing and the proper care.

  We've also had to change how we do things once you arrive.

1. We ask that every person in the clinic wear a mask, disposable or reusable. Wearing a mask slightly reduces your chance of catching COVID-19, but greatly reduces the chance that anyone who has COVID-19 but no symptoms will unknowingly spread the virus to others. It is something we do not for ourselves, but for others. 
2. Please do not show up early for appointments. If you are early, please wait in your car until just before your appointment; we will call or text you when you are able to enter (make sure we have your cell number). 
3. The front doors can be opened using the motorized openers if you do not want to use the door handles (use your elbow).
4. Unless you need someone for assistance, we ask that you refrain from bringing friends and family members with you to your appointments. This will ensure our waiting area remains uncrowded throughout the day. Seating in the waiting area will be extremely limited. 
5. Please use the hand sanitizer at the front entrance when you come in and again when you leave.
6. Payment can be done over the phone once your credit card info is on file; invoices can be emailed to you after your visit is completed. If you are using INTERAC debit cards, please check with your bank to see if you can use the tap feature to avoid having to enter your PIN (you can still do so; we keep the keypad clean).
7. Along with our longstanding practice of disinfecting the treatment tables, anti-bacterial hand washing and linen changes between each patient, we are also regularly cleaning high-traffic areas in the clinic with disinfectant
8. We have suspended our 24-hour cancellation policy to allow you to cancel at any time if you suspect any flu or cold symptoms. Please call to cancel your appointment with us if you have any symptoms of concern (e.g. fever, cough, difficulty breathing). 

If we continue to work together, we can keep each other healthy. We ask for your patience as we get back to regular practice.
