Strathdon
Community provides quality aged care to the community through
the provision of a number of residential and non-residential
services including:
Individual room accommodation
for 108 residents in our two Hostels: Richard E McGarvie Hostel
, formerly Hostel 19 (84 residents) and our dementia specific
Jack Faichney Memorial Hostel (formerly Hostel 15) accommodates
24 residents.
Funded by the Commonwealth
to provide ‘hostel’ type care in the home for 70 people living
in the local community as an alternative to residential service.
This has been an exciting opportunity for Strathdon to extend
its care services and use its resources to provide support more
widely throughout the region.
Strathdon’s day respite
centre for people with Alzheimer's & Dementia.
The Socialisation
Group provides an informal program of activities to meet
the social and lifestyle needs of the participants in a relaxed
and supported setting.
The
Parkinson's
Group is conducted by Strathdon's Day Therapy Centre as
a special program for people living in the community.
Strathdon runs both Men's and Women's Parkinson groups, usually
accommodating six to eight members at a time, over an eight
week period.
There
can be no doubt that one of the most important factors underpinning
the strength of Strathdon Community is the level of commitment
and involvement from local residents, supporters, staff and
volunteers and we look forward
to this continued interest and support so that we may be able
to provided the highest quality and relevant services to older
people in our community.
