At Origami, we strongly encourage family and friends to be active participants in the recovery of their loved one. This philosophy means that clients have the choice of inviting visitors to join therapy sessions, attend groups, and participate in care conferences.

Some residents require special diets for health and safety reasons following their injury. Our specialists will provide education on appropriate foods for someone on a special diet. Prior to bringing in outside food, please consult with the care coordinator.

Please check in at the reception desk upon entry. A team member will guide you to where you need to go. We look forward to your visit!

Children are welcome to visit as long as they are healthy and free of infectious diseases. This includes runny nose, cough, and fever. Please make sure children are properly supervised at all times. If you are unsure if a visit is appropriate, please contact your Care Coordinator for guidance.
