Dear Resident and Family Members,

COVID-19 Update for Residents and Families of Calvary The Mariner  

I am pleased to inform residents and families that all tested Calvary The Mariner residents have received negative results from the latest round of testing. In line with Public Health Unit advice, the outbreak has been declared over.

Consistent with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care, Calvary The Mariner will ease restrictions on visitation to the home from today, 26 February 2022. Screening processes remain in place to ensure the safety of residents, staff and visitors.

Information for visitors

  • There is now no limit to the number of visitors allowed per resident, per day.
  • Visiting hours are from 11.00am - 6.00pm daily, with last entry to the home at 4.30pm. This is to ensure all screening processes can be completed with our day staff.
  • Visitors will be required to complete screening requirements prior to entry and wear appropriate PPE (including a surgical grade face mask and shield) whilst visiting. PPE is provided by Calvary.
  • Visitors will be required to have a rapid antigen test (RAT test) before entering the home. This takes time, and we ask for your patience as we manage this important screening process.
  • 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,
