Staff were fantastic managing anxiety levels , they made sure they spent time with the client and engaged in hobbies like talking about cassettes , watching videos and talking about his games .

“ It was very interesting as well as challenging at this time ! However , the best thing was that our young man was asymptomatic . We also made a calendar countdown so that he knows soon we will be able to go to cinema ( his favourite ) which is helping well .
Today is day 8 , and sadly one of our amazing team members tested positive yesterday . We have been continuously cleaning surfaces , wearing PPE and make sure of good hand hygiene . We have TWO more days to go and we look forward to getting out of this full PPE and going out and resuming our normal daily and weekly activities .
We couldn ’ t have done this without support from management , constant checking by Wendy and of course our great team .

How we navigated COVID ...
“ The day to day of working in a Covid positive
“ environment has been interesting to say the least . The clients don ’ t understand social distancing or not touching everything . The staff and myself have worked to make this time for them as enjoyable as possible . We have done craft , painting , board games , movie and PJ days . I looked up simple experiments to make at home and we made home made snow . Which on a hot day was a lot of fun for all .” Sarah Burns | House Manager Paralowie
With the whole team effort , we have so far managed to keep the infection at bay with only one of the four participants at MPW testing positive .
