Serviced Apartments (Residential Care)

Many of us will use residential care at some point in our lives.

In the late 1940’s UPA recognised the need for low cost accommodation as people who experienced the depression and two world wars found themselves facing retirement with little or no resources. Comfortable one and two bedroom units were designed and built in most Districts. As time progressed, residential care facilities such as the Thomas Agst Clinic, Melrose, The Laurels and Murray Vale were established. With strong local support and capital funding from the Commonwealth we saw our aged residential care work grow significantly from the 1970’s on.

Today we operate 615 low care places and 29 high care places across 16 facilities throughout UPA.

Our record for provision of quality care throughout all services is consistently recognised by the Aged Care Standards Agency with auditors complimenting our Care Managers and staff on their work.

Skilled and dedicated staff embrace the mission and values of UPA as they offer clinical and personal care services, medication supervision and the right of choice for residents in their care needs. An independent lifestyle for the individual is encouraged.  Daily living skills are enhanced through programs of gentle exercise, mental stimulation, social interaction and entertainment.

Privacy for each resident is offered within a caring and understanding atmosphere and all residents are treated with due respect and dignity.

UPA is committed to deliver excellence in care services based on Christian values and continuous quality improvement.

UPA has these services at the following locations:
