New aged care beds for Tenterfield Care
The New England community welcomes the new investment from Apollo Care.
Tenterfield Care’s Haddington Aged Care Community celebrated the opening of 28 new aged care beds that aim to improve Apollo Care’s Haddington and Millrace aged care communities.
Apollo Care chief executive officer Stephen Becsi said they were “thrilled” to fulfil the promise they made to locals to complete this new extension when they became the approved provider in November 2023.
“Our commitment hasn’t stopped there; we’ve also made significant investments in infrastructure, workforce, care and culture,” Mr Besci said.
“We’ve deployed cutting-edge technology and programs to enhance resident care, staff wellbeing and operational efficiencies; spent over $1 million providing affordable housing for workers; and have plans underway to enhance Haddington’s existing rooms and Millrace’s common areas.”
He added: “We’re committed to ensuring the financial sustainability of Tenterfield Care and we’re pleased to report that the operating performance of the organisation has improved by 60 per cent in just 12 months.”
TCC board member and Deputy Mayor of Tenterfield Greg Sauer is also happy with the new opening.
“We’re thrilled to see TCC’s transformation following a few tumultuous years when it was operating with significant losses. To expand from 82 beds a year ago to 110 today is phenomenal, and there’s so much happening behind the scenes to cement a positive future for Tenterfield Care and its residents and staff,” Mr Tenterfield said.
“Apollo Care has brought the financial and operational expertise we needed, while delivering on its promise to ensure TCC remains true to its community roots and values.”
