ARV Annual Review

Independent Living

Our 19 independent living communities across the Diocese are home to some 2500 people. Life is vibrant and fun, quiet and peaceful, safe and secure – all at the same time – as one would expect in true community. Plus residents are content in the knowledge that ARV Health is there to promote health and vitality, as well as providing further support should it ever be required.

This year we welcomed residents into our newest communities at Glenhaven Green and Warriewood Brook.

Residential Care

Our 16 residential care facilities provide the additional support people so often require as their care needs increase. Along with this extra physical care come many opportunities for active participation and involvement in community life. There is a wonderful and unique sense of belonging in each and every location – a place to call home.

Our newest care residence, Marcus Loane House at Warriewood, has been gradually filling throughout the year and is now operating at close to full capacity. Our next new care residence is currently being built at Kingswood and will become operational in early 2012.

Community Care

An increasing number of people are opting to receive care and support in the familiar setting of their own family home. It’s surprising what can be achieved when a little support is offered in this way. ARV has been a pioneer in this form of service and now offers over 40 community based programmes, providing care in the home to over 1,200 people and growing.
