Dear family member/resident representative,
I’m writing to provide you with an update as we manage the risk of COVID-19 at your loved one’s care centre.
We have received the results of our last round of PCR tests for residents in Flinders East wing, and pleasingly all were negative.
In further good news, a number of residents who were previously diagnosed with COVID-19 have reached their full recovery criteria and are now free of the virus.
We are now caring for nine residents in Flinders East wing with COVID-19. All residents are regarded as stable and are experiencing symptoms ranging from very mild to none at all.
We continue to apply strict infection control protocols at the care centre to minimise the risk of transmission, and this includes encouraging our residents in Flinders East wing to limit their movement and remain in their rooms where possible.
We are also continuing with our program of testing for early detection this week, with another round of PCR tests scheduled for tomorrow. These tests are for residents in Flinders East wing who have not already tested positive to the virus. Residents in other areas of the care centre do not have to be tested.
I will provide you with another update when we receive the results of these tests, and hopefully news of more of our residents reaching their full recovery criteria.
Visiting residents is discouraged while the risk of COVID-19 transmission remains. However if you do wish to visit the arrangements outlined below apply.
Visiting arrangements for all other areas of the aged care centre are outlined below.
If you are visiting after-hours and on the weekend, please be patient while waiting for staff to open the door. If they don’t respond immediately it is because they are caring for a resident, but will respond as soon as they are able.
As is always the case, please do not visit your loved one if you are experiencing any symptoms or are feeling unwell. Even if you have a negative COVID-19 test result you may still have influenza or another contagious virus.
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 support.
Yours sincerely
Nia Briguglio
