  Community Update - Infection Control

  Dear Cooinda Visitors,

  Our residents are our number one concern and we are currently working hard to ensure the right balance in order to maintain their health and well-being during this period of pandemic.  In the media, we have read and heard of community acquired transmissions of Coronavirus, which would have an immediate and devastating impact on our residents, who typically have poor immune systems.  With the potential of a second wave of community transmitted Coronavirus, any person who enters the Cooinda may pose an immediate danger to our residents.  It is in the interest and safety of our residents that we currently have additional safety measures in place, which are constantly under review to ensure they remain appropriate and relevant.  

    Please view our video message here

  Furthermore, from May 1, 2020,  the Federal Government has mandated that anyone entering an aged care facility must bring original written evidence stating they have received an Influenza Vaccination in the past two months.

  Please call myself, Alex McKenna, Chief Executive Officer (0423 660 789) or Margaret Daw, Executive Manager Clinical Care (0484 607 844) if you have any questions or need advice on this notice.

  We thank you for your consideration and understanding on this important matter.

  Kind regards,
  Alex McKenna, Chief Executive Officer
