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.”
