In line with Public Health Unit advice, we are able to declare the outbreak over from Saturday 21 May 2022, and lift the current visitation restrictions at Calvary The Homestead. Consistent with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care, Calvary The Homestead will welcome visitors back into the home from Monday 23 May 2022. Information for visitors
In line with Public Health Unit advice, any residents who contracted COVID-19 can now no longer receive the vaccine at our scheduled vaccination clinic in June. This is due to the three (3) month gap needed from diagnosis of COVID-19 to administration of the vaccine. We will go ahead with the clinic for residents who did not contract COVID-19. Thank you for all that you have done to ensure our residents continued to receive the safest possible care, with such empathy and compassion over this challenging time. Your hard work is appreciated. We all look forward to receiving more visitors back into the home.
