The Uniting Church in Australia is one of the largest providers of community services in Australia. Uniting Church Homes (‘UCH’) is an agency of the Western Australian Synod of the Church. |
|||
| UCH is incorporated under the provisions of
the Uniting Church in Australia Act 1977 (WA). We provide a range of accommodation and care services for elderly people within a Christian environment but welcome all people from all backgrounds into our service and employment. We also manage the City of Bayswater Residential Facilities in Bayswater, Noranda, Bedford and Morley. UCH has a long history of providing quality aged care services in our community. |
 |
||
| We believe that elderly people
should have real choices in deciding how and where to spend
their latter years. The choices we offer range from therapy
services for people living in the community through to High
Band Residential Care Facilities for people with a need for
24 hour nursing care. A number of our facilities have special programs to meet the needs of people with dementia. |

Residential Care Facilities When people can no longer live independently, even with support, they may need to move into a Residential Care Facility. Before applying for a place you must first be assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team(ACAT) who will decide whether or not you need this level of care. Your doctor can arrange for an assessment by the ACAT. The ACAT is a team usually composed of a doctor, nurse and social worker. One or two members of the team will interview you, perhaps even visiting you at home to do this, to help you decide what level of care and type of facility best suits your needs. |
 |
||
| If necessary the ACAT will be able to recommend a particular
facility or a number of facilities so that you can enquire
if there are vacancies. However, it is your responsibility to make contact with the facilities to look at the accommodation offered and discuss the services and costs involved before making the final decision. |
|||
| Standard of Accommodation Most UCH Residential Care Facilities have single rooms with private ensuite bathrooms or in some cases two units sharing a common bathroom. Basic furniture is provided but Residents may bring their own furniture to their unit, subject to an assessment of its suitability by the manager. Residents have a key to their own room and are encouraged to maintain their independence to the fullest extent possible. Meals are provided in a communal dining room. |
