GRAI will be offering a unique Pride event this year so keep Saturday afternoon October 16 free when you will have the opportunity to visit a gay friendly aged care facility that offers all levels of care.
Join us for a walk through followed by afternoon tea and a presentation by the Chair of GRAI on the highlights from the recent research report. St Michael’s Residential Care in North Perth is one of Perth’s premier aged care facilities and they have opened their doors to the LGBT community.
‘We hope that by opening the doors to an aged care facility, community members have an opportunity to start the conversation around aged care accommodation,’ said GRAI Chair Jude Comfort.
‘In general the LGBT community is pretty youth focused. GRAI wants to challenge and educate our community on aged care issues with this unique Pride offering’ she said.
So come and see inside such a facility and have some questions answered.
This is not just for the senior members of our community but anyone. It could appeal to those who may be facing decisions about care for relatives etc. So join GRAI to visit.
Look, question, challenge your stereotypes. Join us for delicious afternoon team and discussion of the recent GRAI research report ‘We don’t have any of those people here’.
All ages, all welcome and it is free!!
St Michael’s Residential Care, 93 Wasley Street North Perth, 6006.
Saturday 16 October 2010 2pm to 4pm.
