Top marks for Gary Smorgon House
Melbourne’s Jewish Care is pleased to announce that the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency (ACSAA), the government’s independent accreditation agency, recommended to award a perfect score of 44/44 in its first audit of Jewish Care’s Gary Smorgon House.
Jewish Care CEO Bill Appleby thanked staff for their outstanding commitment and contribution. He said such a positive outcome reinforced Jewish Care’s position as a leader in the provision of services for older people.
“We are extremely delighted with this achievement,” Mr Appleby said. “Gary Smorgon House staff have attained a terrific outcome with its first accreditation. I am proud that this follows on from the 44/44 that has been achieved consistently in all our aged care services.”
Opened July 2009 in the heart of Caulfield, Gary Smorgon House addresses the accommodation needs of the Jewish community. Catering for low and high care residents as well as dementia clients, Gary Smorgon House offers both permanent and respite accommodation. Of the 120 suites, almost all have been filled with only a few low care suites currently available.
