Inner City Aged Care
Mercy's Inner City Aged Care is comprised of Mercy Restorative Unit, Mercy Memory Service and Mercy Memory Clinic and the Ursula Frayne Unit.
Mercy Restorative Unit
Located on the hospital campus, the Mercy Restorative Unit is a public patient 24-bed facility run in conjunction with Royal Perth Hospital.
This beautiful purpose-built, heritage-style Unit has been established to service the specific needs of patients in the Inner Perth metropolitan area.
It incorporates a Day Hospital for out-patients requiring ongoing medical assessment and / or rehabilitation therapy.
Patients who have been medically stabilised at Royal Perth Hospital are transferred to the Mercy Restorative Unit.
The facility's main objective is to restore patients to optimum function and wellbeing prior to discharge.
For referral information and enquiries, please contact (08) 9370 9905.
Mercy Memory Service and Mercy Memory Clinic
There are two special public patient clinics based at the Mercy Restorative Unit for people with suspected memory disorders.
Both clinics cater for predominantly older people.
The Mercy Memory Service is designed to assess people with more clear-cut memory disorders, many of whom have Alzheimer's Disease.
This service is available to patients living in the Inner-city Region catchment area.
The patients are comprehensively assessed and managed with services.
The Mercy Memory Clinic is designed to assess people with mild cognitive problems and is run in conjunction with the Inner-city Mental Health Service for Older Adults.
These patients often require full psychosocial, medical, psychiatric and neuropsychological assessments.
This is a state-wide service for public patients.
It is important that patients attending these clinics are accompanied by the next of kin, or carer.
Appointments for the Mercy Memory Service are made through ACAT Referral, and the Mercy Memory Clinic is made through Doctor's letter / referral.
Ursula Frayne Unit
The Ursula Frayne Unit, named after the Sister who led the first Sisters of Mercy to arrive in Perth in 1846, provides public in-patient services for older people with mental health problems.
The 12-bed Unit has been established to service the Inner Perth metropolitan area, and incorporates inpatient rehabilitation, aged care assessment and the Royal Perth Hospital Department of Geriatric Medicine.
Royal Perth Hospital provides the Clinical Management for the Unit.
