We would also like to reassure you of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest levels of care and support to your loved ones at this especially challenging time. Unfortunately, it is likely that visitor restriction to residential aged care will remain in place until the current stay-at-home orders are lifted within each individual LGA. We will continue to monitor the situation and respond in line with the NSW Health directives. What does this mean for residents and families?We understand that restrictions on visitation have been difficult for many residents and their loved ones, so please do not hesitate to contact the manager of your home if you would like to discuss the individual care needs of your loved one, or have any questions or concerns.

Calvary acknowledges the importance of COVID-19 vaccination for keeping our residents, staff and community safe. We would like to take this opportunity to strongly encourage all families and visitors to become vaccinated prior to visiting their loved ones. While non-vaccination will not preclude visitation, additional precautions (such as wearing masks and limited access) may be required. As the situation evolves, NSW Health may advise changes to restrictions and we will adjust our restrictions accordingly.
