We thank you so much for your continued understanding and patience over the past month as we have been dealing with the COVID outbreaks. Whilst the large outbreaks are over, we continue to identify some positive cases during our ongoing testing regime.
At this time, we have a total of 4 residents, (1 in Magnolia, 1 in Tulip and 2 in Rose House) who have tested positive to COVID-19. It is pleasing to be able to report that (due to the strain being mild and the antiviral medications administered) they all are relatively well.
We continue to manage our COVID outbreaks under our COVID Outbreak Management Plan in conjunction with a State & Federal Government document, “Guidance for Managing COVID-19 Outbreaks in Residential Aged Care Facilities”. Please note we are regulatorily obliged to operate within these guidelines, which can be found here.
I am pleased to advise the current positive cases remaining minimal we are in a Low-Risk Outbreak.
Shields have been removed, except for when entering a positive resident’s room. Activities can resume as normal, and the café is open to all Residents, staff and visitors (with the exception of covid positive residents who are required to isolate).
