Learn how clinicians use personal protective equipment (PPE) at Grandview Kids and watch as we walk you through an example in-person therapy appointment
Things look different at Grandview Kids, from health screen checkpoints at the entrance to clinicians decked out in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We have made several changes to the daily processes and protocols at the Centre to ensure the safety of families, staff and volunteers as in-person therapy appointments resume.
PPE is used to reduce exposure and prevent transmission by droplet or contact with another person. PPE barriers include gloves, gowns, facial protection and eye protection, including safety glasses, goggles or face shields.
Masks are required when entering Grandview Children’s Centre. All staff, volunteers, and we ask parents to wear a face mask throughout their time at the Centre. It is not recommended for kids under two years to wear a face mask. Children and youth with breathing difficulties and those unable to take off the face mask on their own are also not recommended to wear face masks. We will provide families with access to face masks upon entering the Centre and do not need to bring their own from home.
Watch below as Grandview Kids Physiotherapist, Corrie, shows you how your child’s therapist may look when you meet for an in-person therapy appointment.
