Bilyara CEO Ray Harris said the lockdown was over but the the facility continues to have some residents in isolation.
Families are requested to contact the Cowra Retirement Village before visiting to ensure that their relative is not in isolation.
Mr Harris said the facility had five staff and 11 residents with symptoms of influenza last week, causing the lockdown.
“Staff have been terrific stepping up to the plate - especially last weekend with nine shifts requiring staff to double up and return after only an eight hour break to do double shifts,” Mr Harris said.
“At this stage we will continue to lockdown external services until end of next week,” Mr Harris said.
