24.01.2022 REDHS CEO Karen Laing was presented with a cheque for $4000 by Echuca Moama Rotary Club President Teresa Carlson following the recent Golf Ball Drop fundraiser at Rich River Golf Club. The funds will go towards the development and organisation of REDHS's new community transport project. This project, with support from the Royal Flying Doctor Service, will benefit the Rochester and surrounding communities in so many ways. It will mean people who may not be able to make their appointments in Echuca or Bendigo because they didn't have access to transport will have so many more opportunities. #rochestervic #Elmore #lockington #nanneella

23.01.2022 REDHS Aged Care residents have been out for drives enjoying the nice green country side and were excited to see the baby camels at CAMILK. Other outings included a visit to see the new Echuca-Moama bridge where the residents were amazed at the size of the new bridge. They then had a drive around the Echuca Wharf area to see some of the changes that have taken place there. It's great to see their smiling faces and their interest in all that they see.

22.01.2022 Home Care Services are Essential Our community has seen many changes in the way we live and interact with others as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Routines and practices that were part of our everyday life have been ruled out or modified due to the Victorian restrictions. Fortunately, it’s still OK to utilise REDHS Home Care services during this period as they are considered an essential service. Our Home Care team remains ‘REDHY To Care for you, and is adapting to en...sure we continue meeting your needs. REDHY To Care in your home, on your terms. For more information, call 5484 4465 or email [email protected]. There are so many reasons to be happy - a small gift recently delivered by REDHS Home Care Packages Client Advisor, Andrea Howarth, to our Package consumers brought a smile to many faces. #rochestervic #Elmore #nanneella #lockington

19.01.2022 REDHS staff are always keen to check in on each other and on our patients, clients and residents - but especially today on R U OK? Day. You don’t need a reward for asking but an orange and poppy seed muffin is always appreciated. It’s as close as our talented catering team could get to yellow and black. Not a bad effort we think. If you notice the signs someone is struggling, take the time to ask R U OK? If they say they’re not OK make time to listen, encourage action and ...check in. Remember, there’s more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say next at www.ruok.org.au #rochestervic #Elmore #lockington #nanneella #RUOK #ruokday2020
