Today, Catholic Healthcare is celebrating 26 years of providing health and aged care services to residents, clients and patients.
This year’s theme for Foundation Day is living ‘life to the full’, which lies at the heart of the organisation's Mission.
Catholic Healthcare’s Managing Director, David Maher said, “We celebrate the care and service we have provided across the year, and we celebrate our colleagues, who have displayed so much dedication, resilience and agility to support the wellbeing of our clients.”
“This year has been an unusual and dramatic year of responding to challenge and change.
“The aged care Royal Commission, new aged care standards and other Government reforms have impacted right across Catholic Healthcare. We responded by developing and launching our Enrich Model of Care, describing ‘how we care’ for our residents and clients.
“The summer came with bushfire ferocity, and we acknowledged our people who ‘shined’ during this disaster. We were then faced with a global pandemic. We acknowledged the challenges faced with Covid-19 and the incredible way our people responded to ensure our clients continue to ‘live life to the full’ in our Homes and within the community. Over the past few months, we have had to adapt the way we work without visitors to our Homes. We have been delighted by innovative and creative activities added to the residents’ Lifestyle Program, and the introduction of video calls and other digital communication initiatives for residents to stay connected to loved ones.
“Our organisation is very special, and the work we do is very important. A shared focus on ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all in our care, and for each other, in this year of relentless challenge, has been inspirational,” added Maher.
