Anglicare unveils Chesalon Living in Sydney

Anglicare Sydney’s chief executive officer, Peter Kell, has unveiled Anglicare Sydney’s new integrated strategy for its residential and community aged care services under the name ‘Chesalon Living’.

To date the name ‘Chesalon’ has been synonymous with professional care for the very frail with high support needs, according to Mr Kell, but in order to remain viable and relevant in meeting the emerging requirements and needs of older Australians, Anglicare is expanding into new categories of care.

“By incorporating low care, extra-services high care, assisted and independent living units into new residential developments along with space for respite, community and day centre programs, we can afford to re-develop outdated facilities and provide new facilities in those parts of greater Sydney where there is a growing need,” he said.

Mr Kell said Anglicare Sydney would retain its mission focus through Chesalon Living.

“It is this focus which has led us as a church-based, not-for-profit organisation to innovate in the provision of aged care – first establishing services in response to a need and subsequently demonstrating our case to governments,” Mr Kell said.

“Our business plan has specific goals for caring for people with disabilities who are ageing and for caring for the adult disabled children of ageing parents.

“We also have a strong desire to see married couples kept together rather than separated should they need aged care.

“These goals stem from our vision to strengthen and build inclusive communities, rather than aiding the trend toward isolation of older people from the support networks of family, community and faith,” he said.
