Dear Families, Friends and Representatives,
We wish to inform you that there are currently flood warnings in place for low-lying areas of Wingham. At this stage, our care home is not impacted.
The safety and wellbeing of our residents and employees is our priority and we are taking every effort to prepare for this weather situation.
We’re keeping a close eye on the conditions and following all guidance from the local SES. As a precaution, we are preparing food and essential supplies in case the situation extends.
In the very rare event that an evacuation is required, our teams are fully briefed on our Emergency Management Plans and will ensure that we keep you updated at every step of the way.
While we always welcome visitors at Whiddon, we encourage you to also prepare and stay safe, and to avoid travel to our home.
In the event that you are unable to contact your local Home, you can call our team on 1300 738 388 and we will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
The Whiddon Team
