We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as Anglicare continues implementing a range of measures to help minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19. This includes screening of all staff and visitors upon entry to our sites.
For further information about how this relates to our various services, please click the links below.
From Monday 11 October, people are able to visit their loved one in a residential aged care home provided they meet screening requirements.
All visitors will need to be aged 12 and over, be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and have had their second dose at least 14 days prior to their visit.
These and other requirements are set by NSW Health and can be found on the NSW Health website.
Read the Fact Sheet for visiting our residential care homes if you have further questions.
To help manage visits to our homes, visitors will need to pre-book their visit. For visitors who are unable to visit in person, we can assist you to connect with your loved one by video calls. Please book these through the online booking system or call the residential care home.
If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact the Residential Manager of your home, email us at [email protected], or call us on 1300 111 278.
We encourage all retirement living and housing residents across our Villages to be aware of the risks of COVID-19. We also work closely with them to ensure they understand and follow Public Health Orders and advice and cooperate with our COVID-19 Prevention and Management Procedures.
We are pleased to inform you that in line with NSW easing of restrictions, we are also working on supporting you back into the community and back to our services.
Anglicare At Home has recommenced:
We will be welcoming people back to our Social and Wellness Centres and Social Groups on the 25th October 2021.
Please be assured that Anglicare At Home will maintain our strict screening and infection control protocols. We are committed to continuing to deliver services in line with the latest government recommendations while ensuring the safety of our clients, staff, and the community.
We encourage you to call your Anglicare representative to discuss your personal situation.
Message from Marcela Carrasco, General Manager, Anglicare At Home - July 2021
Community Services offices are providing the following services at this time:
We continue to provide as much chaplaincy and pastoral support as we can while ensuring the safety of clients and Anglicare staff. Where face-to-face support is restricted our chaplains and pastoral carers are ministering via Skype and by phone. Staff who minister at non-Anglicare sites (including hospitals and prisons) follow the relevant procedures and precautions applicable to their place of ministry.
If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
