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.
Unfortunately since writing to you earlier this week, another seven residents have tested positive to the virus.
We are now caring for 30 residents with COVID-19 in Roden Cutler House, including one in Magnolia. Of the 30 residents, one has been transferred to Sutherland Hospital for further treatment, and the remaining 29 residents are experiencing symptoms ranging from mild (such as a headache and cough) to none at all. We continue to monitor all residents closely in consultation with their GPs.
To minimise the risk of transmission, we are encouraging all residents in Roden Cutler House (including Magnolia) to remain in their rooms where they are being supported with their care needs, served their meals, and supplied with activity packs to suit a range of interests.
To ensure early detection of any other cases, all residents in Roden Cutler House (including Magnolia) who have not already tested positive to COVID-19 will be tested again tomorrow via the PCR method where samples are sent off-site for laboratory analysis. Results for these tests can take up to 24 hours.
I will provide you with another update when we receive the results of these tests. If your loved one returns a positive result, staff will let you know by phone and continue to provide you with a daily update regarding their progress.
Visiting arrangements remain the same at this time and are detailed below.
Roden Cutler House (Ground Floor, Level 1 and Magnolia)
As we manage the risk of COVID-19 at the care centre, visiting residents in Roden Cutler House is strongly discouraged. If you do wish to continue with your plans to visit, the following arrangements remain in place:
All other areas of the care centre
There are no changes to visiting arrangements in all other areas of the care centre.
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
