Dear Resident and Family Members,

Update for residents & families of Calvary Haydon

I am pleased to inform residents and families that all tested Calvary Haydon residents have received negative results from the latest round of testing. In line with Public Health Unit advice, we now are able to lift the current restrictions at Calvary Haydon.

We look forward to welcoming visitors back into the home from tomorrow, Saturday, 12 February 2022.

Information for visitors

• Consistent with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care, there is now no limit to the number of visitors allowed per resident, per day for homes where there is no outbreak.
• However, social distancing is still required and we ask visitors keep to a maximum of two (2) visitors per resident at any one time, and that visitation occurs in the resident’s room or outside. Please do not use communal areas for visiting purposes.  
• Visitors will be required to complete screening requirements prior to entry and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) whilst visiting. This includes an N95 face mask and shield. Calvary will provide you with the necessary PPE.
• All visitors will need to book their visit in advance. Please contact 6264 7400 during business hours to make your booking.
• Visiting hours are between 9am and 5pm, 7 days a week. This relates to visitors’ arrival on site. Once inside, visitors may stay longer.
• All visitors MUST provide evidence of having received the COVID-19 booster vaccination or confirmation of your booking to receive the booster vaccination.
• As a precaution to keep our residents, staff and other visitors safe, all visitors exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms must not enter the home until they complete a rapid antigen test (RAT test) with a negative result.
• We understand that there may sometimes need to be exceptions to visiting hours. If so, please make prior arrangements with the General Manager – contact 6264 7400.
• If you have any questions please speak with the home manager.

Our staff will continue to closely monitor all residents for symptoms of COVID-19.

We are very grateful to our residents and families for your continued support and understanding during this challenging time, and very much look forward to receiving visitors back into the home. You can help us by sharing this information with your family and friends.

Sincerely,
