Dear Resident Families and Friends,

We welcome the move to Level 1, this means that you can enjoy coming and going, taking your loved one to your home, or enjoy your favourite cafe or shopping centre together without worrying about social distancing.

There are only a few requirements we ask to protect our residents:

1. Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell, and remain away until you are 48-hours symptom free. We also urge you to consider getting a test if the symptoms are possibly Covid-like.
2. Please register using the COVID-19 Tracer App when you visit.
3. Please use the hand sanitiser as we remain vigilant to ensure we keep everyone safe.

To date we have been encouraged by the thoroughness and thoughtfulness being shown and we would like to continue giving thanks for your support and encouragement.

Together it helps in supporting our job to protect the environment so many vulnerable people have chosen to call home.

Dear Resident Families and Friends,

We are delighted most of the country has moved to Covid-19 Alert Level 1, except for Auckland, who we trust will join in the lower level soon.

What does this mean for us now? It is almost back to the 'good old days' where you can enjoy coming and going, taking your loved one to your home, or enjoy your favourite cafe or shopping centre together without worrying about social distancing.

Dear Resident Families and Friends,

Re: COVID-19 Update

As most of you will be aware by now the government has announced Alert Level 3 for the greater Auckland area and Level 2 for the remainder of New Zealand. This means that due to the vulnerability of our residents, we will be in lockdown as of midday today. This will be for the next three days, pending further announcements.

Dear Resident Families and Friends,
