Cypress View Lodge at Coleambally has opted into a new initiative aimed at keeping the doors of facilities open in the face of rapidly rising resource pressures.
The Murrumbidgee Aged Care Network is a co-op of seven aged care providers in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District.
Under the co-operative structure, the aged care operators will share administrative costs, freeing up management to focus on ensuring quality care for residents.
By sharing administrative duties across all seven facilities, it is intended to “ensure ongoing housing security for residents and their families”.
The co-op has been formed as part of Care Together, a Federal Government funded program to help establish social care co-ops and mutuals in regional areas, where other service models have failed.
Joining Cypress View Lodge in the co-op is Navorina Nursing Home at Deniliquin, Burrowa House at Boorowa, Adina Care at Cootamundra, Uralba Hostel at Gundagai, Lachlan Lodge at Hillston and Edward River Gardens at Moulamein.
The co-op was registered following an initial meeting in June, and the first official meeting will be held in September.
