A message from our CEO
Diamond Anniversary!
2008 is Glenview’s 60th anniversary. Sixty years ago in 1948, the doors of Glenview Home for the Aged opened to a group of twenty elderly Glenorchy residents. From those early beginnings, we have continued to grow and prosper. Sixty years on, our client numbers have grown from that initial 20 to now being more than 500 per year. Clients include community clients receiving support in their own homes; respite clients coming to Glenview services for day or overnight respite; and residents of the home.
In 2007-2008, Glenview provided a range of aged care services to 529 people plus their carers. This number will increase significantly next year as our new Bisdee House Day Respite Centre continues to expand. Our clients now live all across Southern Tasmania but our base is in Glenorchy and a large number of our clients continue to live in Glenorchy City.
Our small band of Church volunteers who started the Home back in 1948 has grown to almost 150 staff and more than 100 volunteers in 2008. Glenview has never been of the view that “bigger is better” and it has never been part of our strategic plan to expand simply because we can. The quality of what we do and the relationships we forge with our clients, our staff, our volunteers and our community are the most important aspect of our development. We have not changed so much in the past sixty years as to be unrecognisable as that small band of hard working and committed members of the local Church of England congregation who decided that aged people in our community needed some help… and so they provided that help.
We have a lot to celebrate and we intend to do a lot of celebrating this year.
Yours sincerely
Christine Dibley
