From January to June 1989, Resthaven Board members visited all eight Resthaven aged care homes to come up with Resthaven’s Mission Statement.
The Mission Statement read:
“As an agency of the Uniting Church in Australia, Resthaven seeks to provide a total ministry to serve the needs of ageing people.”
The two objectives the Board came up with were:
• To provide and maintain independent living, hostel and nursing home care for the aged and disabled.
• To provide and advocate for the needs of aged and disabled people in the community.
Consultation was held with staff, residents, volunteers, relatives, Friends of Resthaven, and people from the surrounding Parishes.
“I believe the whole exercise has encouraged a freedom and openness in discussing our organisation and all will benefit from it.”
