Norwood is on centre-wide COVID-19 outbreak. Currently,  two patients and four staff members are active with COVID-19. 

Outbreak measures are in effect for this centre: Visitors are asked to wear a face shield or eye protection in addition to a mask (face shields are available at screening stations), refrain from eating or drinking, and follow all public health measures in place.

Visitation 

Continuing care settings in Alberta continue to have COVID-19 protocols in place,  regardless of outbreak status, as the government moves forward with a three-stage plan to ease restrictions.

This means continuous masking, enhanced cleaning and disinfection, health screening upon entry, testing, and isolation when required will continue in our centres.

When visiting, please continue to:

• Wear a mask at all times, including the resident rooms. 
• Masks should be well-fitting and high-quality to have the greatest benefit.
• Only visit with your loved one and limit the number of people in a room at one time so that physical distance can be maintained. 
• Perform hand hygiene throughout your visit.

Please note:

• Visitors who are close contacts of a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19 should not enter the site for 10 days from the last day of exposure to the close contact.    
• Visitors who are sick or symptomatic with even mild symptoms of COVID-19 (including fever, cough, shortness of breath, runny nose, sore throat or loss of sense of taste or smell) must isolate for 10 days as per CMOH Order 39-2021 OR receive a negative COVID-19 test and feel better before returning to a continuing care site.

Norwood is located in central Edmonton, across from the Royal Alexandra Hospital and beside the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Once a traditional long-term care centre with 205 beds, Norwood now offers a mix of programs which include post-acute care, a palliative hospice and complex long-term care in an environment that supports choice, autonomy and, where possible, independence.  Norwood's specialized programs are:

Alternative Level of Care:

• For individuals with stable medical conditions who no longer require treatment in acute care, but require further assessment to determine the optimal living option (home care, supportive living or long-term care).

 Chronic Ventilator Unit (Red Eagle Ridge):

• For individuals with significant chronic illness and complex health needs who require ventilation.
• Health team includes 24-hour Respiratory Therapists to support ventilator care.

Restorative Care:

• Support for individuals, often frail seniors, who wish to return to their home/community after an acute episode which required hospitalization.
• Provides continued rehabilitation, clinical care and discharge planning to ensure a successful return to home.

Post-Acute Care:

• For individuals with significant but stable medical conditions who require an extended period of recovery following the acute phase of a surgery, illness or accident.
• Provides continued rehabilitation, clinical care and discharge planning to ensure a successful return to home.

Acquired Brain Injury Unit (North Horizons):

• Provides a safe and secure environment for individuals with spontaneous and unpredictable behaviors that are the outcome of an accident or injury to the brain.

Palliative Hospice

• Provides compassionate end-of-life care for individuals whose disease/health condition no longer responds to treatment.
