Dear family member/resident representative,
I am writing to provide you with an update as we manage the risk of COVID- 19 in your loved one’s aged care centre.
You will recall from my message to you on Friday that we had some residents in Magnolia Cottage return positive results from testing. The residents in consultation with their family, were transferred to our COVID-19 unit in the Flame Tree building, where they are continuing their recovery.
Since then another resident in the cottage has returned a positive test result and has joined the residents in the Flame Tree unit.
There are now currently seven residents in the COVID-19 wing, three of whom we expect to reach their recovery criteria in the coming days, and return to their previous areas. All others are being monitored closely and are stable.
Residents in Magnolia Cottage who have not tested positive are being supported by our Lifestyle team with activities of interest as they continue to be encouraged to remain in their room to help reduce the risk of transmission. These residents are being PCR tested again today.
Visiting arrangements
While we manage the risk of COVID-19 within Magnolia Cottage, visiting to this area is discouraged, however if you do wish to continue with your plans please assist staff with the following arrangements.
Visiting to all other areas of the care centre is in accordance with our arrangements as outlined below:
Please do not visit if you are unwell yourself, 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
