Coronavirus (COVID-19) | Update for Residents and Families
 

Dear Resident or Family Member,

Important Update (No 6) for Residents and Families: Further positive COVID-19 cases identified at Calvary The Brelsford

I am writing to inform you that an additional three (3) residents and one (1) staff member have tested positive for COVID-19 at Calvary The Brelsford. Two of the positive residents reside in Emerald Unit, and one in Sapphire unit.

It is important to note that the two additional Emerald residents reside in a shared room with an existing COVID positive resident. The additional Sapphire resident is the husband of an existing COVID positive resident.

This brings the total number of COVID positive residents at The Brelsford to twenty seven (27) residents and nineteen (19) staff members. 

Whilst Calvary The Brelsford remains closed to all visitors there has been a change in our Pearl resident’s movement within their units, under direction of the Public Health Unit. See below for details.

Visitor exceptions may be made for end of life visits.  Please speak to your home manager in relation to visitation

Please see the below update regarding resident’s movement within the home, as advised by the Public Health Unit. 

Sapphire Unit- All residents in isolation and will be cared for in their rooms.
• Emerald Unit- All residents in isolation and will be cared for in their rooms.
• Pearl Unit- All residents in isolation and will be cared for in their rooms.
• Ruby Unit still does not have any active cases, and our Memory Support residents may move freely within their unit.

Calvary will update you again as soon as any information becomes available. Our staff are in contact with the families of the COVID positive residents and are keeping them informed.

Thank you for you continued understanding and patience at this time.

Sincerely,

Anne Marie Cassaniti
