A new $3.2 million dementia friendly unit at Creswick Nursing Home has opened.
Funded via the Victorian Government’s $490 million Regional Health Infrastructure Fund (RHIF), the upgrade includes a new 12-bed unit purpose-built to provide best practice dementia care.
The project also delivered improvements to the existing residential aged care facility. These include a consolidation of common areas and upgrades to heating and cooling systems.
The $490 million Regional Health Infrastructure Fund is the largest grant program of its kind in Victorian history. It provides vital government funding to rural and regional public health and residential aged care services across Victoria. This funding enables these services to continue to provide safe and efficient care to local communities.
