Warrigal Coniston - CONISTON

They describe themselves as follows:
"Warrigal is a community owned organisation focused on creating inspiring communities for older people. Warrigal was formed by volunteers in 1964 - with the first care home opening at Mt. Warrigal in 1968. Our philosophy of choice is built upon 4 key themes - Independence - Respect - Happiness and feeling Connected - most importantly we provide places where people can just be themselves. At Warrigal we are committed to older people having a choice and we support those who are financially disadvantaged wherever possible. Our financially supported resident ratios are well above the required government regional requirements which are generally 21% - at Warrigal our ratio usually stands at around 40%. This means that we provide the highest possible quality of care to all people with an assessed need - regardless of their financial circumstances. "
