Dear family member/resident representative,
This is an update about how we are managing the risk of COVID-19 at your loved one’s aged care centre.
Firstly, I’m saddened to share that one of our residents who had tested positive to COVID-19 and was receiving treatment in hospital with other health-related matters passed away on the weekend.
On behalf of everyone at IRT I would like to pass on my sincere condolences to the resident’s family members and friends, including our Dalmeny residents and staff who are also deeply saddened by this resident’s passing.
Unfortunately since I wrote to you last week, another four residents have tested positive to COVID-19. We are now caring for nine residents with COVID-19, eight of whom live in Mummaga and one who lives in Wagonga.
All residents who are currently positive with COVID-19 are experiencing a range of mild symptoms including a cough, hoarse voice and scratchy throat. Our staff are closely monitoring all residents for symptoms of COVID-19 and are caring for those who have tested positive in their rooms.
To ensure early detection of any other cases, all residents who have so far tested negative for COVID-19 in Mummaga were tested via the PCR method yesterday and we are currently waiting for the results. Residents in Wagonga who have so far tested negative for COVID-19 were rapid antigen tested yesterday and pleasingly all results were negative.
If your loved one returns a positive result, we will let you know by phone and continue to provide you with a daily update regarding their progress.
As we manage the risk of COVID-19 at the centre, you are encouraged to postpone your visit to the care centre at this time. If you do continue with your plans to visit, please assist the care centre by complying with the following:
To minimise the risk of transmission across the care centre, we have decided that it is best not to proceed with the Resident and Relatives meeting that was scheduled for Monday 5 June.
I will be in touch with you again soon to provide details of the rescheduled meetings.
As always please do not visit your loved one if you are experiencing any symptoms or are feeling unwell, even if the symptoms are mild. Even if you have a negative COVID-19 test result you may still have a contagious respiratory infection.
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
Kristy Spooner
Senior Clinical Manager – Eurobodalla/ACT Aged Care Centres
