Uniting will open a specialist dementia care household at Uniting Eabrai Lodge, our residential aged care home in Weston.
The household will operate under the Department of Health’s Specialised Dementia Care Program. We are looking for staff that will provide specialised care to people living with very severe behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, who need more support than can be provided in a mainstream residential aged care home. To be part of this team will be very rewarding for all involved.
