Aishling Centre ROGER Taufel can sum up the experience of sending his son Jonathan to Centacare’s redeveloped Aishling facility in one “Jono comes home with a smile on his face,” Mr Taufel said Opened last November and given an official opening this week the Eagleby facility offers flexible short-stay accommodation and support services for children and young adults with disabilities The original Aishling facility was well-known to the Taufel family who has Down syndrome and autism (spectrum disorder) frequented the centre for 25 years “Jono needs respite as well as we need respite,” Mr Taufel said “The main thing is continuity of care and this has been a haven for us it’s a question of being in a particular spot and knowing he’s comfortable and feels secure “You leave your child in the care of someone and you want them to receive the very best care they can The Taufels have embraced the new and improved $2.6 million facility which incorporates an enhanced living environment external courtyards and the latest technology The facility offers clients around-the-clock care or a longer holiday on a regular basis or when it suits them best Archbishop Mark Coleridge blessed the facility at the official opening on July 11 “As we embrace the introduction of the NDIS one of Australia’s most significant social reforms we’ve set ourselves the challenge of creating a new and unique environment that better responds to the hopes and aspirations of our clients their families and carers,” Centacare’s executive director Peter Selwood said from a small and ageing premises to the state-of-the-art facility it is today speaks to our commitment to engage and enable our clients as active participants in shaping and defining the support and services they received “Our clients and their families know what works best for them – it’s our job to listen understand and respond in a way that allows them to make choices about how to live their lives.” Aishling acts as a hub for a range of learning activities Every morning a mini-bus picks up clients from their homes They can look forward to meeting new people trying new activities and learning different skills aligned to their individual goals The choices and opportunities offered to clients are always changing – sailing such as preparing and delivering meals for Meals on Wheels Clients have the option to choose how they would like to spend their time and are encouraged to participate in activities that are tailored to suit their individual interests and goals “There’s a legitimate need for places like this,” Mr Taufel said “We have an ageing population and ageing parents are very concerned about what happens to their children with difficulties when they pass on.” For more information about Aishling or any of

Saturday playing out of St Brendan’s Kookaburra Park this season made it three wins from three outings and sit at the top of the ladder after sweeping aside the Giants in sweltering conditions Superbly led by halfback and captain Matthew Stanley Inala were near faultless and it was some spirited defence by Eagleby and some off-target goal kicking by Inala that prevented the score blowing out even further Inala centre Daniel Stanley scored the first of his side's 10 tries after he collected a nice floating pass from Stanley to zip away and score in the fourth minute of play Stanley again was in the thick of the action as he toyed with the Giants defence to fire out a beautiful cut out pass finding powerful centre Maroni Niu who made no mistake going over untouched to score their second Further tries to fullback Des Namok and lock Kunta Matini (who nailed a superb touchline conversion) with Matthew Stanley masterminding another precision pass to find Daniel Stanley who shrugged off three would be defenders to score his second Eagleby were well behind on the scoreboard but were certainly standing up to the opposition and were damaging in parts dishing out some ferocious defence of their own Jimmy De La Cruz and the hulking Reeff Tangata were arguably the Giants best and added another try to winger Paul Lulia whose scintillating sideline burst saw the flanker tip toe down the sideline to score inches from the line and when it appeared Eagleby’s first try was imminent he picked up a loose carry from the Giants like a thief in the night He put on the afterburners to race 80m and score a magnificent individual try Niu romped in for his second try after the afternoon using his brute strength to stroll in for the easiest of tries replacement Warriors
