Dear family member/resident representative,
I am writing to provide you with an update on your loved one’s aged care centre.
I am sad to advise that one of our Greenwell Gardens residents who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 sadly passed away yesterday. The woman, who was on a palliative pathway prior to testing positive to COVID-19 and had been receiving additional support from palliative specialists, was unfortunately challenged by her COVID-19 symptoms throughout her diagnosis. Our thoughts are with her family and friends as they mourn the loss of their loved one, including our Greenwell Gardens residents and staff who are understandably saddened by her passing.
Test results
All results of yesterday’s tests of residents in Callala House and Currarong House have been received and they are all negative.
In other news, 4 of our COVID-19 positive residents reached their recovery criteria yesterday and are now enjoying being able to move more freely around the aged care centre.
Residents diagnosed with COVID-19 continue to experience a range of symptoms, while others are still relatively symptom-free.
Our Lifestyle team are continuing to support the wellbeing of all residents at the aged care centre and today will be conducting one on one visits, delivering activities of interest to residents who would like this.
Visiting arrangements and the wearing of PPE
A reminder to reconsider your visit at this time or the need to take your loved one out of the centre. If you do proceed please assist staff by complying with the following:
Please do not visit the care centre if you are unwell with even the mildest symptoms. Even if you have tested negative for COVID-19 you could have influenza which is also highly contagious.
Please pass this information on to others in your family as you consider appropriate.
If you have any questions please contact your Care Manager.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely,
Nia Briguglio
