Important information about IRT Woonona Aged Care Centre

14 April 2023

Dear family member/resident representative,

Thank you for your support as we have managed the risk of COVID-19 at your loved one’s aged care centre.

Today I am pleased to let you know that there have been no further positive results from our precautionary testing. With this good news and with all residents who were earlier diagnosed with COVID-19 now deemed fully recovered, the outbreak is considered resolved.

Having reached this milestone formerly high risk residents in Flame Tree Level 2 are no longer encouraged to remain in their rooms, and regular group activities will resume. Children under the age of 12 are now also permitted to visit.

Visiting arrangements

The staff and I are grateful to those who visited during the outbreak period and supported the care centre by wearing their PPE correctly.

To refresh your memory on our visiting arrangements please go to our website by clicking this link.

Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell, even if your symptoms are mild. Even if you have a negative COVID-19 test result you may still have another type of infection 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

Rebecca Perry
Operations Manager – Illawarra Aged Care Centres
