All staff who attended banned party at Epping Gardens aged care tested positive to COVID-19

Maureen O’Brien pulled herself out of bed to go and find help but was shocked to find a party taking place.

Within six days, the virus had spread to 60 residents and 22 staff, including all six who attended the baby shower. Greg Reeve, CEO of Heritage Care which manages the facility, said: “It was arranged by one of the more senior registered nurses at the time.”“It was unauthorised, breached protocols,” he said. “I can speak not only as CEO but as a registered nurse. I think the lack of regard they have shown is something that is beyond the pale.”

Colin Cowen speaks to nurses outside Epping Gardens Aged Care Home. His mother Audrey Gardiner was a resident at the facility until a few days ago.

It left a void in staffing numbers and residents allegedly suffered as a result.
