Warwick Dementia Support Group has made a sizeable donation to allow Not For Profit community-owned Killarney Memorial Aged Care in Killarney Hospital, 190km southwest of Brisbane, to go ahead and build a specialist memory support unit as part of its planned expansion.
The donation of $294,000 will ensure the unit is integrated into the aged care home, which currently operates 50 aged care beds, a GP and allied health service, independent living units, home care, Meals on Wheels, and a men’s shed.
“The demand is very high, and we want to be able to build the new area to support local families as quickly as possible,” he added.
