Type of Care

Two levels of residential care are provided in Australia. These are 'low-level' (hostel) services and 'high-level' (nursing home) services.

St Catherine's Hostel comes under the category of 'Low-level' care services.

This means that there are suitably qualified nursing and personal care staff in the Hostel 24 hours a day to tend to our residents.

The nursing and care staff work in close consultation with the doctors of Wangaratta, who call at the Hostel when required to see residents.

The Hostel has a very good working relationship with all the hospitals and medical professionals in the area allowing us to provide the best possible medical care for our residents.
