Our Vision and Values
Yarram and District Health Service strives to maintain its recognised reputation as a leading rural health service. We regard quality care, integrity, professionalism and inclusive consultation with residents, their family members, YDHS staff and volunteers as core values of our residential care services.
St Elmo’s Nursing Home provides residential care for up to 30 residents. St Elmo’s facilities accommodate residents with high care needs as well as dementia affected residents with low care needs. St Elmo’s is located at the YDHS campus with immediate access to all YDHS medical and health care services. Accommodation in St Elmo’s is in single person rooms, all rooms are ensuite. Residents have access to lots of recreational space, the dining room is large and the residence has four variously sized lounge areas. There is also a sunny and secure garden and entertainment area and a safe walking path, The Getaway Track, for residents and their visitors use. Our Leisure and Lifestyle staff offer a range of activities, both group and individual, designed to keep residents engaged and stimulated. All resident’s meals are prepared in our kitchen by YDHS food services staff under stringent food services standards and in consultation with a dietician or medical advisor ensuring resident’s nutritional requirements are met.
