Door Access Change effective Wednesday, July 22, 2026

The safety and security of our residents, tenants, families, staff, and visitors remain our highest priority.

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, secure, and welcoming environment, we are reviewing additional measures to further enhance security at the main reception entrance.

We are implementing an adjustment to the operating schedule of the reception sliding door. The change will secure the sliding door from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., replacing the current schedule of 11:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This adjustment will provide an additional layer of security during overnight hours while continuing to support appropriate access for residents, tenants, families, visitors, and staff.  This change will come into effect on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. 

Please note that FOB access to the building remains unchanged. Individuals within the Perley Health community with authorized FOBs will continue to be able to enter the building during these hours. To request a FOB please visit Support Services (2S on our map). The Support Services office is open 8 am to 3:45 pm, Monday through Friday. The office is closed for lunch daily from Noon to 1 pm.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to maintain a safe, supportive, and welcoming community for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Lorie Stuckless, CNM, NM (She | Her)
Director, Support Services
