several plans to expand and enhance
its facilities. Jeanette Evans explains,
“We have plans on the drawing board to
refurbish our home at Kippa-ring which
is called Peninsula Aged Care Service.
“We will be doing over $1 million of
refurbishment and that will create a
lot more privacy and dignity for our
residents in that we will have more
two-bed rooms, more single rooms
and more access for our residents to
en-suites and showers and also more
private sitting areas.
“We are doing the same at our
Rothwell home as well. The cost for
that will be about $800,000. We will
have to go to the bank for a loan to
get the projects up and running. We
are hoping to build a brand new facility
at our Rothwell site, which will cater
specifically to people with dementia.
We hope to also provide a large training
room there.”
“We have an allocation of 80 beds to
build an aged care facility at Wamuran.
The design of the facility has been
completed but we are waiting to
refurbish our facilities on the Redcliffe
Peninsula before we build Wamuran.”
“We are also making a foray into
the provision of community care and
are hoping to support people with
disabilities under the NDIS. Our belief
that each person who accesses our
services is special, fits nicely with the
consumer directed care agenda and
we believe that staff are well prepared
to support clients to live independently
and to provide them with their desired
quality of life and care.”
