The Selwyn Foundation launches ‘Management Tool-Box’ initiative.
Date: 2 June 2010
The 'Tool-box’ is designed to help NGOs, charitable trusts and independent providers meet the many requirements of today’s residential aged care sector.
A comprehensive package of management services, it comprises a wide range of assessment and audit tools, as well as the latest quality, compliance and HR policies and procedures. It also includes advice and guidance on the implementation of IT, finance, Occupation Right Agreements and other management processes essential for the efficient operation of quality aged care facilities. Services can be purchased as a whole package or as individual components to assist with one-off projects, according to specific needs.
Commenting on the initiative, Revd Duncan Macdonald, CEO of The Selwyn Foundation, said: “Our aim is to support not-for profit, charitable and independent operators of rest homes, hospitals and retirement villages, so that they continue to provide viable, much needed services to ever greater numbers of frail, older members of society.
“Aged care is faced with increasingly stringent regulation and compliance demands, and many smaller providers have difficulty in sourcing the in-house skills and professional know-how required to ensure their processes and management systems comply with national legislation.
“Where this is the case, they can draw on The Selwyn Foundation’s fifty plus years’ experience in the field and benefit from our expertise in providing quality care and service to over 1,500 elderly people each year.
“For those who may need help in bringing their quality practices up to standard, or in introducing new IT systems, HR or finance procedures, we can provide tried and tested solutions that are tailor-made for the aged care environment. And, with greater purchasing power, we can share economies of scale and pass on negotiated discounts which, in turn, may also help improve the bottom line,” said Revd Macdonald.
