The Prime Minister has made a range of announcements regarding aged care specifically in relation to COVID-19. The details can be found at: www.health.gov.au/
Aurrum has also, in line with the new government requirements, implemented a range of measures to protect our residents (and our team members).
These changes extend to further restrictions on visitors including duration of visits (30 mins), numbers of people visiting (2 maximum) and times during which visits can occur which are:
• Monday to Friday 10am until 1pm, and 3pm until 6pm
• Weekends from 10am until 2pm.
We appreciate everyone's support and understanding during this time to ensure the safety of our residents.

Information for the general public and the health and aged care workforce about the Australian Government's health policies, programs and regulationsAurrum Wyoming Valentines lunch was celebrated with lots of love and all the ladies were dressed in red for the occasion. A special Arts class was dedicated to Valentine’s Day, lots of hearts to share.
Consider a Virtual Visit
Aurrum Aged Care has a range of strategies in place to manage the risk of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are also encouraging visitors of residents to do a 'virtual visit' so that you can stay connected with your loved one or friend via FaceTime or Skype (using Aurrum's WiFi and iPad's). By reducing the number of people visiting our Care Homes we all signifcantly reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
For assistance please contact your local Aurrum Care Home reception or call 1800 287 786
