Friends of Resthaven Foundation

The needs of the older person are changing as people live longer and social norms place a greater focus on moving away from facility care to active, independent living. Families are more dispersed and therefore have less capacity to provide support to older members of their family, and the gap between available funding and peoples needs is ever growing.

The emphasis is on making facilities and services accessible and affordable, wherever a person chooses to live - in a retirement village, rest home or in the wider community. Quite simply, we want to give our older community members choice.
