Dear family member/resident representative,
I’m writing to provide you an update about how we continue to manage the risk of COVID-19 at your loved one’s aged care centre.
A total of six residents in Elizabeth Kemp Cottage have tested positive for COVID-19. All remain in a stable condition and are displaying minor symptoms if any at all. One resident who has reached their recovery criteria will be de-isolated today and able to leave their rooms and move about as normal.
The remaining five residents in Elizabeth Kemp Cottage who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 continue to be encouraged to stay in their rooms and are being closely monitored by our staff.
One resident in Scott Cottage has also tested positive for COVID-19 and they too are being supported as they remain in their room to reduce the risk of transmission.
PCR testing is being conducted again today on residents who have not tested positive to COVID-19 in Elizabeth Kemp Cottage. Residents in Scott Cottage will be tested on Sunday and residents in Elizabeth Kemp Cottage will again be tested on Monday.
If your loved one returns a positive result, staff will let you know by phone and will keep you updated on their progress. I will provide another update to you once we receive the results of these tests.
Visiting arrangements to your loved one’s aged care centre remain the same at this time.
As we manage the risk of COVID-19 at the care centre, visiting residents in Elizabeth Kemp Cottage is strongly discouraged at this time. If you do wish to continue with your plans to visit, the following arrangements apply:
There are no changes to visiting arrangements in all other areas of the care centre.
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 result you may still have influenza or another virus which is highly contagious.
If you have any questions please contact your Care Manager.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Yours sincerely
Nia Briguglio
