Anglicare has confirmed an elderly man had died in its Newmarch centre in western Sydney, the 15th COVID-19 death linked to the stricken aged care home.

The centre released a statement into the incident: "The person had no immediate family and was well cared for by the dedicated staff of Newmarch House. On behalf of our resident, we grieve for his death and we value that he was part of our Anglicare family while we cared for them. His passing highlights how terrible this virus is and how devastating it is for the elderly in our community.

The impact of COVID-19 on older people is increasingly evident in Australia and internationally and this is extremely distressing for other residents, their families and members of the wider community. Anglicare appreciates the support of the Commonwealth Government in assisting us to source an infection control specialist who is currently on site this week, monitoring and reviewing all current contamination and infection control procedures.

Newmarch House relative speaks out over lack of communication with families of residents - ABC NewsElizabeth Lane says her mother, a Newmarch House resident, is a 'sitting duck' as the new COVID-19 cases continue to rise at the Western Sydney aged care home. CovidWa “To put this another way, of those 104 subjects who took 2,000 IU of vitamin D every day, only one got a cold or influenza in the entire year.“ Should the accompanying photo be one of Newmarch House this graphically shows the state of despair and isolation the residents must experience. The only folk who profit from aged care in Australia are the owners, usually doctors. What a thoroughly disgusting industry.

Health authorities investigating possible infection control breaches at Sydney nursing homeAnglicare's chief executive says the organisation will raise the possibility of extracting residents from its western Sydney aged care home at the centre of a COVID-19 cluster with those living inside the facility. Years of profiteering off of vulnerable citizens gives rise to this debacle. Increase the number of Registered Nurses rather than staffing these death camps with cheap unskilled labour Why did this happen? Why is it happening in old folks home? So much for the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. I’m playing “Hello In There “ sung by Reg Livermore and a version by Bette Midler. I’m weeping. Actual footage of management in fast forward
