Whilst there have been recent changes made to the isolation requirements for those individuals that test positive for COVID-19, we have not changed are entry requirements into our Home.

Given elderly people are an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and other viruses and at increased exposure due to the number of people coming and going from the facility, we are still following the recommendations set out by Public Health for residential aged care facilities. These include:

• Anyone that tests positive for COVID-19 should not enter our facility for at least seven days after their positive test
• Visitors are required to undertake a rapid antigen test (RAT) prior to entry into the Home
• Visitors are required to wear a surgical mask whilst on the premises
• Visitors are to complete the sign in declaration in reception

Due to staff requirements to monitor that visitor entry complies with the above, weekend visitation entry times are at 10.30am and 2.30pm. Please ensure you have completed your RAT prior to these times to streamline the entry process.

We thank everyone for their continued support as we try to keep our residents, staff and visitors safe.
