The home has a resident support
program, Centacare, which organises
outings and other activities for residents.
AA meetings are held on-site, providing
great convenience to residents. Care
services are available on a 24-hour
basis.
Wamuran Park has a home garden that
is tended by some of its residents. This
provides an enjoyable activity in addition
to being a source of fresh, nutritious
produce.
Adoption of technology
Beaumont Care has teamed up with
Griffith University to develop a clinical
system which will provide assistance in
care governance. They also hope that
it will serve to automate the tracking of
resident care.
The Management was on the lookout
for a suitable off-the-shelf system as it
wanted to automate its resident care
processes. But it was unable to find an
appropriate match for its requirements.
Recently it was approached by a contact
at Griffith University and the system
that will be developed as a result of
this partnership is expected to meet
Beaumont Care’s requirements for the
next 10 to 15 years.
Staff training
The staff is highly trained and
motivated. They treat each resident
with respect and dignity. A visit to any
of the Beaumont Care facilities is an
uplifting experience. The premises have
a pleasant atmosphere and the staff
greet people with warmth and a genuine
smile.
A casual visitor would observe that
there is plenty of cheerful interaction
between staff and residents. The aroma
of home cooking pervades the homes,
