Visitor access to 440 River Road suspended

March 17, 2020

At this time, for the safety of your loved ones, and upon the recommendation of public health officials, we are immediately suspending visitor access to St.Amant’s 440 River Road.

Effective immediately, we have also stopped all volunteer programs, non-program staff who can work from home or a remote location will be off-site and the entrance to the building will be severely restricted.

Our facilities personnel are temporarily deactivating the access cards for all non-staff members and will reactivate them once we receive direction from Public Health that it’s safe to do so.

As soon as it is safe to remove these additional safety measures, we will do so.
