ENTRY AND VISITOR SCREENING PROTOCOLS

Belvedere will enact its Outbreak Management Plan and communicate via our eNews channels to residents’ Next-Of-Kin and/or Power-Of-Attorney (NOKs/POAs) in the event of an infectious outbreak such as influenza, COVID-19 and gastroenteritis.

We encourage you to share all our correspondence within your family networks and ensure that when visiting, all Belvedere protocols are followed.

VISITING DURING AN OUTBREAK

Belvedere Aged Care remains open to visitors during an outbreak.

To minimise the risk of an influenza or COVID-19 infection, we encourage all staff and visitors to conduct a RAT before entry. Anyone delivering a positive RAT will not be permitted into the facility.

Surgical masks and N95 masks will be available for visitors to wear. Please follow all infection prevention and control (IPC) protocols when on-site.

VACCINATIONS AND BOOSTERS

Belvedere Aged Care residents who have consented will receive COVID-19 and influenza booster vaccines. Our ongoing vaccination program is in place to support new admissions to receive their vaccinations. Please contact our Director of Nursing to find out more about our vaccination program for new and current residents.

Belvedere Aged Care staff, in line with vaccination mandates, are all vaccinated within the eligible booster timeline.  

We encourage all visitors to Belvedere to keep up to date with flu vaccinations and COVID-19 booster doses to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Thank you for your cooperation with our visitation protocols.
