We are actively monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and following the advice from the Australian Department of Health and the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services.

The COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving and in response, Benetas has implemented a number of measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our clients, families and employees.

Residential Aged Care

Benetas has temporarily closed its residential aged care homes to non-essential visitors. Given the increasing risk of the spread of COVID-19 within the community, we believe it is crucial we continue to limit access to our residential homes to essential visitors only, until we are confident our residents are no longer in jeopardy.

The community centre at St John's Park, Mooroolbark is also closed until further notice.

Home Care

Benetas continues to provide essential care and support for older people in our community. Home care services remain operational, albeit with more rigorous health, safety and hygiene protocols and practices.

Respite

To comply with restrictions, and ensure the safety of our clients, their families and our employees, a number of Benetas respite service centres have been closed until further notice. This includes Hurlingham, Kibly House and Bateman House.

However, Benetas continues to offer respite care at our residential locations across Victoria.

Retirement Living

To protect the health and safety of our residents and employees, the Dalkeith Heights Community Centre has been closed until further notice.

Health Care

While many of the Macedon Ranges Health services continue to operate from our centre, we have a strong screening process in place to protect the health and wellbeing of our community.

If you have an appointment and are feeling unwell, please call ahead to discuss your situation. We have set up a range of solutions to support you, including video or telehealth.
