The Australian Medical Association has urged people who attended Black Lives Matter demonstrations around Australia over the weekend to consider self-isolating for 14 days to limit the risk of spreading the virus.

Following this advice and erring on the side of caution, Fronditha Care strongly recommends that if you fall into the above category, you refrain from visiting our elderly consumers in their homes or entering our residential aged care facilities for 14 days i.e. until 21/6/2020 inclusive.

Fronditha Care is doing its utmost to limit the risk of the coronavirus to protect its elderly residents and staff. We remind you that Victoria is still in a State of Emergency and will remain so until 21/6/2020.

To date, Fronditha Care has not had any cases of coronavirus reported amongst its residents and staff.

Further to feedback received from you as family members and representatives of our consumers, we will be extending the days of visitation per week to six days a week, Monday to Saturday, effective from Monday 1 June, across our residential aged care facilities in Victoria and NSW. Visitation will not be permitted Saturday 30 May.

Fronditha Care will be moving from voluntary lockdown to restricted visitation at all of its aged care facilities as of Monday 4 May 2020.

Fronditha Care has therefore made the decision to extend the voluntary lockdown across all its residential aged care facilities for another two weeks until 7pm, Sunday 3/5/2020, to limit the risk of infection of Coronavirus to our residents.

Fronditha Care has further suspended its Social Support Groups till 30/4/2020 following the restrictions imposed by the federal government to gatherings of only 2 people. Please read our latest announcement.
