Ashbrook Apartments always prioritises the care and safety of residents and staff.
The spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a serious concern, particularly for the most vulnerable, including the elderly in our care. Our apartments are well placed and prepared to respond to a range of viral outbreaks. We note that the guidelines in regard to best practice containment recommendations for COVID-19 are developing and changing daily. Our early preparation and response planning to the risk of exposure and treatment of COVID-19 is entirely based on the information and guidance materials issued and regularly updated by the Department of Health.
We will continue to work proactively and in partnership with the Department of Health, who is leading Australia’s response and developing recommendations for Aged Care providers. The Department has developed an information sheet for Residents of Residential Care Services and for Family Members (which is attached for your reference). Ashbrook continues to assess the risk and take steps to prevent, detect and control the spread of infections.
