City works with Baptistcare Inc for Collier Park Hostel
The City of South Perth and Baptistcare Inc. work together to support residents as the Collier Park Hostel is closed.
The City of South Perth has accepted an invitation from Baptistcare to work with its residents and families in the Collier Park Hostel as the facility plans for its closure over the next six months.
Baptistcare’s CEO Dr Lucy Morris said: “We are pleased to be working with the City of South Perth over the next six months to help Collier Park Hostel residents transition into alternative care arrangements, after the City announced it was closing the facility earlier this week. Baptistcare is committed to finding solutions that are meaningful and desirable for both residents and their families, and also for the City.
Baptistcare will work with the residents and their families to find the best options, taking into account their care needs and their wishes to stay in the area as a priority.
CEO Dr Lucy Morris said: “We are very aware that these planned changes are having an impact on residents, their families and the Collier Park staff, so Baptistcare will be working to support everyone over the next few months with the City to provide a smooth transition into a range of care and living solutions”.
