The Organisation
The ministry of St Basil the Great is reflected in the work of St Basil’s Homes for the Aged, which believes that all people regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender and age are entitled to high quality aged care. St. Basil was born in Asia Minor in the 4th Century. As Bishop, he preached and practiced the scriptural command of charity, establishing and supporting various philanthropic and welfare institutions, and comforting and caring for the sick, the needy and the elderly. He spoke out on issues of social justice, poverty and prejudice.
St Basil’s Home for the Aged is an Australian registered charity whose sole purpose is the provision of aged care. The facility in Fawkner has been in existence for over 40 years. With 150 bed licenses it has developed expertise in providing aged care services that are culturally and linguistically appropriate.
The newly appointed Board members are committed to resetting and embedding high quality care practices.
