These may include life skills or capacity building skills such as money handling and cooking or simply building lasting friendships and socialisation within the community. CRANES have many houses in the local community with some of our customers sharing accommodation and some living independently. We also have a fully accessible purpose built home on the banks of the river for our customers with complex needs. CRANES have a philosophy for our accommodation of turning "houses into homes" so our customers can enjoy a lifestyle that is likened to their own family home. Many of our staff are trained and experienced nurses to enable us to provide quality care to our customers who have health and medical needs and give them quality of life. Many of our accommodation customers attend day programs or employment seeking activities throughout the day and are encouraged to build relationships in the community. Contact us to find out more, and how you or a loved one can become a part of one of our homes. 02 6643 7257 [email protected]
