Dear family member/resident representative,
I’m writing to provide you with an update as we manage the risk of a contagious skin infection at your loved one’s aged care centre.
I’m pleased to advise that the residents in the Teatree wing of Flametree Ground Floor have responded well to their first round of treatment. Residents’ symptoms have greatly improved, with some residents no longer displaying any symptoms at all.
On Sunday 7 May 2023, residents in the Teatree wing will receive their second round of treatment and we are hopeful that this will be the last round required.
I will continue to keep you updated on the status of the outbreak and let you know once the local Public Health Unit has provided us with guidance to transition back to regular operations.
As has always been the case, if you are talking to your loved one and have any concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to the Care Manager.

Remember if you are experiencing any symptoms or are feeling unwell, even if the symptoms are mild, please do not visit. Even if you have a negative COVID-19 test result you may still have another type of infection which is highly contagious.

Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
Rebecca Perry
