NSW changes to aged care visitor restrictions

With the recent announcement of the easing of aged care restrictions across NSW our SummitCare Residential homes will not be changing any of our current processes.

Our priority is to ensure our residents and staff are kept as safe as possible and we will continue to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 community transmission into our homes.

We remain committed to ensuring that our residents are able to have visits from their loved ones, in a safe way, regardless of their vaccination status.

SummitCare will continue to screen all people entering our homes, vaccinated or unvaccinated, which includes rapid antigen testing, wellness screening and ensuring all visitors wear an N95 mask.

Please phone ahead of your visit if you are unsure.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you soon.

The Australian Government Department of Health has provided a fact sheet regarding families and residents on restricted visits to residential aged care facilities. It is available here.
