Carinya Aged Care & Retirement Living is a 43 bed residential Aged Care facility along with 44 Independent Living Units located in the rolling green hills of Korumburra, South Gippsland.
Our purpose at Carinya is to provide a holistic aged care service that is interwoven with the local community where residents and families have a sense of belonging in a warm and welcoming environment.
Carinya recognise, respect and value the contribution of the elderly in our community. We strive to employ local staff wherever possible along with volunteers and committee members based on their alignment with our values. All are passionate about Carinya and strive for excellence and continuous improvement in all areas of aged care. This creates care with compassion, warmth and intimacy, providing quality of life and equity of access for all, because our elderly deserve nothing less. We are a community within a community.
FACILITY EXPANSION:
A 5.5 million dollar expansion is planned for our aged care facility which will include 17 new rooms bringing the number of licensed beds up to 60 by the end of 2019. The expansion also has plans for a new front entrance, administration, communal living and dining areas, kitchen and laundry. The increased capacity will allow Carinya to continue providing a financially accessible service to our local community, and support residents to age in place rather than them needing to be transferred to specialist high care facilities.
INDEPENDENT UNIT PROGRESS:
Five new independent living units are currently under construction with another five to be built in 2019. Carinya also have space to look at building a further 30 units in the future. Also in the planning stage is a community centre which will be located close to the units and provide a fantastic space for unit residents to gather. The centre will incorporate a kitchen, common area with tables, chairs and lounges, an entertainment space, library and meeting rooms.
