New entrant announces world-first aged care ‘microtown™’ in QLD
NewDirection Care™ has launched its first inclusive care community at Bellmere, 50km north of Brisbane, for older people with a range of complex care needs including those with younger onset dementia.
Founder and CEO Natasha Chadwick tells us Bellmere differs from the group home model as they are an approved aged care provider and must meet all of the Government’s accreditation standards.
