Athenree Resthome and Hospital mission statement is where we believe in love, life and laughter.

Philosophy:

We are committed to providing quality care and service. The emphasis, is on maintaining a strong sense of dignity, emotional and/or mental well-being. We belive that all care and services must be delivered with compassion, professionalism amd empathy, and practice of a continuum of Quality Assurance and Improvement.

To be independent, is to have the freedom of choice. To be able to live in an environment surrounded by ones own belongings, be close to relatives and friends, to personal privacy, and to sympathetic understanding and respect. It is our endeavour to provide the environment to fulfilthe emotional, social and spiritual needs of all residents, as they would desire.

Cultural & Spiritual Needs:

It is the policy of Athenree Resthome and Hospital, that every person, whether resident or staff, regardless of their beliefs, creed or race, be treated without question, as a worthy individual, to have their needs met, with wisdom, without prejudice, with calm and quiet efficiency.

Our facility also offers these services:

We are able to access the Alzheimer's Society for anybody that is interested or looking for a support group. Anybody interested in doing art, would be able to be helped by our Diversional Therapist. We have regular BBQ's through the summer months. We have some big print books within the home and would be able to access more from the local libraries. We have a weekly bingo/housie game every Thursday with prizes of lollies, fruit and scratchies. We are able to acess the blind foundation for anybody requiring this service.
