MercyCare already has home care and disability clients across Perth, including a growing number in the Rockingham and Peel region. The opening of the Rockingham office allows MercyCare to better service those and new clients and along with its existing Rockingham Residential Aged Care Home, demonstrates its commitment to the local community.
“Opening Rockingham premises is a natural extension of MercyCare responding to demand in the community. It not only allows us to be geographically closer to clients, but also respond to the need for quality home care and disability services in the local community,” MercyCare Chief Executive Officer Anthony Smith said.
“We want to be able to give older residents the opportunity to choose a home care provider that is values-focused, offers personalised services and can support them to continue enjoy living the lifestyle they choose independently at home.
“MercyCare has always worked at the heart of the Western Australian community, so it is important for us to be part of and connected to the local community we serve.”
Connection to the Rockingham and surrounding community is already well established with MercyCare operating its Reconnect outreach support service which assists young people having difficulties staying at home, or who have recently become homeless because of family conflict; through MercyCare foster carers; and through MercyCare Rockingham Residential Aged Care which 54 residents call home.
“The opening of a Rockingham premises means we can also offer great employment opportunities for people who want to live and work locally,” Mr Smith said.
MercyCare Home Care services include personal care, domestic assistance, grocery shopping support, community connection and social support, carer respite and transport, as well as access to MercyCare’s in-house nursing and allied health teams. MercyCare is also Western Australia’s biggest provider of Short Term Restorative Care program.
Initially the office will act as a hub for MercyCare’s home care and disability services, but in the future also provides a platform to extend our other services, including our Community, Family and Children services.
The office is also part of building flexibility for the workforce, making training, meeting and desks more accessible for locals to the area.
“The office provides training and development opportunities for our staff working in the southern corridor, including those at our existing MercyCare Rockingham Residential Aged Care Home,” Mr Smith said.
The new premises have undergone a major renovation centred around staff wellness with the office divided into focus, collaboration and process zones.
The fit-out reflects the natural landscape in the town of Rockingham, with Peel artist Peta Ugle (Meena) create artwork, Bibbulmum Six Seasons, for the office.
The office will initially be closed to the public with MercyCare staff supporting clients in their own home. As the services grow public access will be reviewed.
