ensure that each resident is treated
as an individual and specific programs
are evolved to provide the correct
degree of help and support.
The Island Care organisation has
evolved a set of values, which guides
each of its staff members in every
aspect of their duties. These values
have not been imposed by the board
but have been formed over the years
by taking inputs from the operating
staff.
Speaking about the expansion that
Island Care has seen since it was
set up in 1964, Jason Binder, Chief
Executive Officer, says “Island Care is
growing and we need a lot of capital
to grow. It costs a minimum of $10
million to build a facility that is viable.
“We need to take into account the
amount of capital that is required to
grow, andamalgamationsandmergers
are often the best method of growth
for non-profits because we can’t raise
equity capital like private entities can.
