In March 2024, Resthaven Limestone Coast Community Services’ Mount Gambier office relocated to a new, larger office space at 13 Penola Road, Mount Gambier.
Whilst the office at 15B James Street served Resthaven well, with service demand increasing, staff required more space from which to facilitate high-quality support services for older people and their carers.
Regarding the relocation, Resthaven Limestone Coast Community Services Manager, Teresa Connor said:
‘We are looking forward to having new and exciting activities and programs to better meet the ever-changing needs of clients in our community. The new location also presents the opportunity for a “community hub,” where nursing and health clinics, information sessions and social programs may be held.’
An official opening was held in April 2024, where it was also announced that the Mount Gambier office would become the primary office for all Resthaven Limestone Coast Community Services operations, with Naracoorte (the former primary office) and Millicent to serve as outreach offices.
