BRODRIBB HOME — LOCAL AND PERSONAL B
rodribb Home Inc is a local charity that has been quietly providing aged care services to the people of Toowoomba for more than 100 years. In fact, their nursing home — or residential aged care facility as nursing homes are now called — is the oldest in Queensland. Old it may be, but thanks to the tireless work of the committee and staff, particularly the long–serving chief executive officer Pam Chipperfield, it is anything but tired. The building has been thoughtfully maintained, renovated and extended over the years, and today it is a beautiful place that 100 residents call home. Something many people don’t realise is that Brodribb also has a retirement village, and offers Home Care Packages. Under a Home Care Package, care and support services are delivered into a client’s own home, whether that be in a retirement village or in the wider community. Brodribb At Home provides all levels of government subsidised Home Care Packages — from one to four. According to general manager Colleen Stark, what clients appreciate about Brodribb is that it is local and provides a personal service. When you ring you don’t have to make any selections
— you simply talk to a familiar voice who’ll be able to assist you. The other really important thing to Brodribb’s clients is they will regularly see and get to know the same select group of caring staff.
