Dear family member/resident representative,
I am writing to provide you with an update on your loved one’s aged care centre.
Since writing to you yesterday, I am pleased to inform you that the aged care centre has remained stable.
Residents in Grevillea Wing were rapid antigen tested yesterday and the results were negative for all (except for the one positive resident in this wing). These residents will be PCR tested today. I will inform you of the results in my update to you on Monday, however if your loved one does test positive you will receive a phone call from the aged care centre.
Our COVID-19 positive resident is doing well and is managing mild symptoms. They have been treated with antiviral medication to support them with their recovery.
Our three residents experiencing symptoms of rhinovirus and influenza are also doing well and are being monitored closely by our staff with daily observation checks.
All other residents at the aged care centre remain well and are not displaying any symptoms of COVID-19. Our residents in Grevillea wing are being encouraged to stay within their room to minimise the risk of further spread of any respiratory illnesses at the centre.
Our Lifestyle team have delivered activity packs, including word games and puzzles to these residents and one on one welfare checks are being completed daily. They are also providing daily updates via phone call to the resident representative of each resident in Grevillea wing.
Visiting arrangements
As I indicated to you yesterday, with the risk of COVID-19 being managed at the centre you are encouraged to postpone your visit at this time. If you do continue with your plans to visit the arrangements below now apply. Please assist the care centre by complying with the following:
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 influenza which is highly contagious.
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
