   Respite CentreIn 2007, a new goal was set to provide a short term respite facility in Albany. By October 2008, funds were secured from the State Government to complete the construction phase. Work began in July 2009 and progressed rapidly with a completion date set and achieved for January 2010. The offical Opening was held on April 18th 2010. The respite Centre provides short term respite care and accommadation to care recipients. The 4 bedroom unit can provide 1,460 bed nights per year. We are currently seeking funding to run the Respite Centre 52 weeks a year.
Projected Cost:$500,000 A massive $380,000 has already been raised of the $500,000 target. Some of the support has come from Lotterywest, local businesses and service clubs through financial and in-kind donations. Projected Benefits:Complements the existing Albany Community Centre care facility which offers opportunities for interaction for people currently living independently. Supports people in care to remain in their own homes by giving their carers an opportunity to look after their own health and well being by having worry-free breaks. Employment will increase by at least three full time and two part time staff. Donations:If you are interested in making any monetary or in-kind donation to help with site works, building supplies, equipment or furnishings contact the Centre on 08 9841 8668 or email reception@accc.org.au for more information. |
