One resident at Pinecrest Nursing Home passed away early this morning. The total number of COVID-19 related deaths in the Bobcaygeon home now stands at 29.

“We are working closely with public health authorities as new information regarding the outbreak is made available and we are committed to implementing all ongoing and new care directives,” says Mary Carr, administrator of the home in a media release.

“Pinecrest staff are working hard each and every day to fulfill the physical and emotional needs of our residents as their care and safety continues to be our number one priority. Our staff have also received a number of thoughtful donations from the community ahead of the Easter weekend.”

The entire Bobcaygeon community has been very generous during this time, adds Carr, “and we are grateful for the ongoing support.”
