Update to Whiddon Grafton families

17 May 2022

Further to our last update, we have had a small number of additional residents at Whiddon Grafton test positive to COVID-19. In response, we have implemented our COVID-19 outbreak management plan to ensure all precautionary measures are in place.

As per the advice of the local Public Health Unit, we continue to undertake ongoing COVID-19 testing of residents.

For now, we have restricted visitation to one visitor per resident at this time (for compassionate or essential visits only). These visits must be pre-booked. 

All visitors are required to undertake rapid antigen testing as a condition of entry to Whiddon Grafton and will be asked to wear an N95 mask and face shield, which will be provided upon entry to the home.

We continue to work closely with the local Public Health Unit and following their advice. We understand that this is a challenging time for everyone, but we want you to know that it is our highest priority to keep everyone in our family safe and well, and we are doing everything we can to achieve this.

We thank you for your understanding and support and will provide a further update later in the week.
