As this message from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commissioner states, we cannot be complacent complacent when it comes to a infection prevention and control measures.

05.01.2022 Meet our Volunteer Coordinator: Jill became a volunteer at Harbison because the residents and staff were so wonderful to her mother while she was at Harbison Burradoo. At the end of 2019, after being charmed by the residents who were always too happy to say hello and have a chat and being well-taken care of by the staff who always had time to listen her and her mother, she decided to sign up as a volunteer. She is an avid potter and shares this interest with Harbison resi...dents by running small pottery groups. As Volunteer Coordinator, Jill is always on the look out for people who want to share their time, energy and interests with residents.

05.01.2022 Shortly after 10am this morning, Burradoo resident Harold became the first Harbison resident to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. "I'm very excited about being the first resident at Habrison to be vaccinated," he says. "It's the right thing to do." He was closely followed by Frank and Jo who were also excited to receive the first dose of the vaccine. "It's good for the residents to get the vaccine," says Jo. "Prevention is better than the cure." A clinic has been set up in... the Harbison gym at the Burradoo home where the government immunisation team from Sonic Clinical Services are administering the vaccines. Residents are in very good spirits after receiving their vaccines and have said they didn't feel anything at all. Our Moss Vale residents will receive their first dose of the vaccine in two weeks.

Most confusing for many people is accommodation costs because people have a choice of whether to pay a refundable deposit (RAD) or a non-refundable daily fee (DAP), or a combination of both. Luckily, we have a helpful online room price calculator to make things easier to understand. If you require more information please don't hesitate to contact our Admissions Team on 02 4868 6200.
