Dear family member/resident representative,
Thank you for your support and patience as we manage the risk of COVID-19 at your loved one’s aged care centre.
Since my last update to you on Tuesday, a further two residents at your loved one’s aged care centre have tested positive to COVID-19. One of the COVID-positive residents lives in Roden Cutler House, while the other resident is on level three of the Flame Tree building.
We are currently caring for five residents with COVID-19, with now only one resident remaining in Sutherland Hospital for further treatment – the other resident who was also in hospital was discharged back home to the care centre. All those residents diagnosed with the virus who remain at the care centre are experiencing very few symptoms and we continue to monitor them closely in consultation with their GPs and family.
To ensure we detect any other cases as soon as possible, and in line with public health unit advice, residents in Roden Cutler House (including Magnolia) and level three of the Flame Tree building will be tested via the PCR method today. I will provide you with another update early next week when we receive the results of these tests. If your loved one returns a positive result, staff will let you know by phone and keep you updated on their progress.
Roden Cutler House (Ground Floor, Level 1 and Magnolia)
As we manage the risk of COVID-19 at the care centre, visiting arrangements for Roden Cutler House remain the same at this time:
All other areas of the care centre
While there are no changes to visiting arrangements in all other areas of the care centre, the local public health unit strongly recommends that visiting and outings for residents on level three of the Flame Tree building are minimised at this time.
Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell with even the mildest symptoms. Symptoms of respiratory infection can indicate a range of contagious viruses including COVID-19 and influenza.
Please pass this message on to others as you consider appropriate and if you have any questions, please contact your Care Manager.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely
Nia Briguglio
