Click here 06 May 2022 Dear Resident and Family Members, COVID-19 Update for Residents and Families: Positive cases identified at Calvary The HomesteadI am writing to inform you that unfortunately two (2) additional residents have tested positive for COVID-19 at Calvary The Homestead since our last communication to you. The positive residents remain in isolation and are receiving care in their rooms. We have contacted their families and are keeping them informed. In line with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care, visitation to the home will recommence tomorrow 07 May 2022. There are, however, specific requirements to help keep our residents, their visitors and our staff as safe as possible. Please see below: Information for visitors during an outbreak
We will continue to liaise closely with Public Health Unit officials, who will make the decision about whether and when it is safe to remove the current visitation restrictions. We will keep you updated as information becomes available. We anticipate our next communication to you will be early next week. Please be assured that our staff have prepared for situations such as these and are trained in strict infection control procedures. They continue to focus all of their attention on the individual care needs of residents. You can help us to ease anxiety by sharing this information with other family and friends. Thank you for your continued understanding and patience at this time.
