Covid: NSW aged care cases on the decline, despite Omicron strain

New figures reveal the improving situation in our aged care homes, with the number of active Covid cases for staff and residents beginning to drop.

The number of Covid cases in NSW aged care homes had drastically decreased, new data has revealed.

As of Friday there are 525 active Covid-19 outbreaks in residential aged care facilities across the state, a slight reduction on the 554 outbreaks of the previous week.

However, the total number of positive cases among residents and employees has tumbled down with now just 2847 aged care residents testing positive for Covid-19, down from 4783.

In the last week alone, the number of active cases for staff has plummeted five fold from 5916 to 984.

The number of deaths recorded in facilities with active cases currently stands at 232 – an increase of 40 from last week.

Of the facilities currently with active outbreaks Russian Relief Association of St Sergius of Radonezh, which is operating as St Sergius Aged Care in Cabramatta, has the highest number of residential deaths with 23, including ten in the past week.

This is followed by Cardinal Stepinac Village with 16 deaths since the coronavirus outbreak began, with Bossley Parkside Care Community, Bupa Clemton Park, Estia Health Kilbride, and St Basil‘s Lakemba each with nine resident deaths.

St Sergius Aged Care in Cabramatta has the highest total number of combined active cases in staff and residents with 219, followed by Estia Health Kilbridge (190), Cardinal Spinac Village (183), Estia Health Camden (142), Uniting Wesley Gardens Belrose (142) and Bupa Greenacre (137).

Covid is continuing its rapid spread into the NSW aged care homes with almost two thirds of the state’s facilities now recording active outbreaks.

The number of aged care facilities where residents or staff members have contracted the virus has soared to 554 – of which 13 each have more than 100 active cases.

In the last week alone, the number of resident cases has risen 907 from 3876 to 4783 while the number of active staff cases has surged five-fold from 1194 to 5916.

The number of deaths recorded in facilities with active cases currently stands at 192 – an increase of 80 from last week.

The tally of active cases, published by the Federal Department of Health on Friday, is by far the highest recorded within the aged care sector since the beginning of the pandemic two years ago.

The huge spike in cases, particularly among staff, comes just days after NewsLocal told of the desperate scramble to get enough RATs to hand out to staff and patients.

Before the arrival of Omicron, case numbers within the sector had been in steady decline with just three NSW homes recording active outbreaks in the last week of November.

Friday’s figures mean the total number of homes with active outbreaks equates to 63.7 per cent of the 870 residential aged care services in NSW.

Of the facilities with active outbreaks, Cardinal Stepinac Village has the highest number of resident deaths with 14.

This is followed by the Russian Relief Association of St Sergius of Radonezh – operating as St Sergius Aged Care in Cabramatta – with 13, and Bossley Parkside Care Community, Bupa Clemton Park, and Mercy Place Albury each with nine.

Sergius Aged Care in Cabramatta has the highest total number of combined active cases in staff and residents with 210, followed by Cardinal Stepinac Village (182), Estia Health Kilbride (179), Uniting Wesley Gardens Belrose (142), Bupa Greenacre (135) and The Whiddon Group Glenfield (135)

The rapid surge in case numbers has left many centres facing critical staffing pressures due to workers contracting the virus or self-isolating as close/casual contacts.

There has also been increased demand for rapid antigen tests, partly in response to a new Department of Health framework allowing asymptomatic close and casual contacts of Covid cases to return to work on conditions including undergoing testing.

Helen Workman – the chief executive of St Sergius Aged Care – said the home has various measures to limit the spread including documenting ‘red areas’ where residents have had Covid, while virus-free areas are designated ‘green zones’.

“We feel our preparation was strong but we never expected the outbreak to spread so quickly and to have so many numbers of staff and residents affected within a few weeks despite following all precautions,” she said.

“The aged care industry has probably been hit hardest by the Covid pandemic, but it has been able to manage these difficulties surprisingly well.”

Uniting Care, which operates several homes with large outbreaks, said it has developed a specific protocol for facilities experiencing active cases including visitor restrictions and requirement for staff to wear full PPE.

“To ensure the safety of residents in a home experiencing an outbreak, those who have tested positive to Covid-19 or assessed as close contacts are being asked to isolate in their rooms and socially distance from others,” she said.

“During outbreaks, to the extent possible, residents are cohorted to households or separated across different parts of the home.”

Uniting is also advocating for a “revised approach” to the response to outbreaks in residential aged care which is said should “balance infection control with the other important health and wellbeing needs of residents”.

“We understand that the Australian Government is listening, and a revised approach is being developed,” she said.

Uniting Care said staff shortages remain a primary challenge for the sector.

“Workforce shortages in residential aged care present a significant challenge for us all, now exacerbated by the global pandemic and particularly this Omicron outbreak that has hit Australia,” she said.

“The growing demand for workers in aged care, combined with their chronic low rates of pay and the closed borders are fuelling the workforce crisis.

“Urgent action is needed by the government to address these underlying aged care workforce challenges to ensure older people receive the quality of care they deserve.”

Nationwide, there are 23,900 active cases of Covid-19 related to aged care across 1261 residential aged care facilities.

The Department of Health said more than 7.6 million rapid antigen tests have been distributed to aged care facilities since August last year.

“Supply of RATs is an urgent and immediate focus of national cabinet. More than 200 million of these tests have been ordered by the commonwealth, states and territories, and will arrive through this month and next,” a spokeswoman said.

“Delivery of rapid antigen test kits is currently being prioritised to facilities in outbreak or recent exposure.”
