    Visiting Arrangements at Residential Aged Care Homes

    Visiting arrangements:

    • Visiting hours are no longer restricted.
    • Visitors to Resthaven Aged Care homes are no longer required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or Influenza, although it is strongly recommended due to the vulnerability of older people.
    • Visitors are no longer required to sign in on entry to the home, or undertake temperature checks.

    Visitors and staff are no longer required to wear a mask, unless there is a COVID-19 positive resident at the home.

    We recommend that when visiting one of Resthaven’s Residential Aged Care homes, you undertake a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) prior to or on entry and a wear a surgical mask whilst inside and particularly when in close contact with the person you are visiting.

    RATs and surgical masks are available at the entry to the site.


    O    ther recommendations we ask that you continue to assist us with include:

    • Visiting outside where possible (and subject to weather) and while inside being mindful of physical distancing
    • Not visiting if you are feeling unwell or test positive to COVID-19
    • Continuing to maintain frequent use of available hand hygiene stations

    Residents are also encouraged to wear a mask when leaving the site if possible. Please remember to sign a resident out if going off site for a period of time and note the time they return in the sign in/out sheet at reception.

    Please note:

    If you are a close contact, you must wear a mask when visiting. Also, you should limit your visit time and undertake a RAT prior to every visit. If you test positive for COVID-19, you cannot enter for seven days.

    Resthaven continues to operate under the COVID-19 Outbreak Management Plan and implements additional infection control measures as required.

    We thank our communities for their support and understanding.
