To: All Staff – Calvary Gympie Views
From: Cassandra Schwartz, General Manager Aged Care
I am happy to inform you that our previous COVID positive resident has now been medically cleared, and there are currently no COVID positive residents at Calvary Gympie Views.
All residents are free to move around the facility and accept visitors, in line with Calvary’s Position Statement on Visiting in Aged Care. Please see below:
Information for visitors
- Visiting hours are between 11.00am and 6.00pm, with last entry permitted at 4.30pm.
- There is no limit to the number of visitors allowed per resident, per day. However only two visitors are permitted at any one time.
- Visitors will be required to complete screening requirements prior to entry and wear appropriate PPE (including face mask and shield) whilst visiting. PPE is provided by Calvary.
- As a precaution to keeping residents safe, visitors will be required to have a rapid antigen test (RAT test) before entering the home.
- Visitation exceptions may be made for residents receiving end of life care, residents who may be experiencing distress, or where a special care and support role is provided. Please speak with the home manager to discuss arrangements.
Thank you for all that you are doing to ensure our residents continue to receive the safest possible care with empathy and compassion in this challenging time.
