Jamestown Hospital And Health Service

Symond's Wing located at the Country Health SA Jamestown Hospital & Health Service was redeveloped in 2000 with an extension to add a futher six beds with ensuites to the seven beds which were State funded. In January 2013 the home was accreditated with the Commonwealth for 12 high care beds and one respite bed. The home is bounded by a courtyard and sensory garden and is located next to the Jamestown Hospital & Health Service. The home has strong and historical links with the community and the building was part funded from a generous bequest and also through the active support of the local Jamestown Hospital Auxiliary and the Mid North Health Advisory Committee. We also have an active team of enthusiastic volunteers who support the residents in the home and this includes lifestyle and leisure activities. A team of local pastoral chaplains also provide spiritual support and church services on a fortnightly basis. The staff for the home also include qualified nurses and domestics cooks and maintenance staff who are also local community members and have been employed by the hospital over many years supporting continuity of care. In addition Country Health SA Local Health Network is the largest provider in the State for aged care beds.
