COVID-19 information from Cara – Latest information on Monday, March 16

What are we doing to help prevent the spread of the virus in our Cara Community?

We are also stepping up our infection prevention processes at customers’ homes, Cara services and Cara offices, which includes but is not limited to:  

• Ensuring staff follow current self-isolation requirements, as set out by the Commonwealth Government.
• Postponing any events or large-scale meetings which could present a risk to our Cara Community – this includes the postponement of our Possible Picnic at the Adelaide Zoo on Sunday, April 5. Customers would have received a hard copy invitation in the mail. We will advise a new date in the future and thank you for your understanding as we postpone this event.
• Communicating to staff and visitors to our sites about the importance of staying home if they are unwell;
• Increasing the amount of hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes and other cleaning solutions available to staff to clean customers’ homes and promote the importance of good hand hygiene amongst our staff – staff can follow their normal procedure to order supplies.
• Providing regular updates to staff, customers and families about our infection control measures and pandemic planning as the situation changes.
