Rooms and costs

St Francis Hostel was built in 1996. The rooms are well maintained with a robust deferred maintenance program in place to ensure that they are kept fresh and neat with good quality carpet and fittings. St Anthony House is the secure dementia wing of the hostel comprising 11 single ensuite rooms, each of which open on to a main passageway that leads to the common areas. The House is surrounded by neatly manicured gardens and a walkway leads all the way round the House. For fire safety all rooms are fitted with a sprinkler system and smoke alarms monitored by Fire Indicator Panel connected to the fire service. All rooms have a telephone socket, TV aerial point and built in robes. A modern hospital bed and bedside locker is provided unless the resident chooses to provide their own. Built in robes allow for generous storage space for clothes. Temperature is regulated by a reverse cycle air-conditioner. Motion sensors installed in the bedroom allow for monitoring of movement during the night so that staff can attend and provide assistance if required. The ensuite is 5 m2 in size, light and airy with a heater on the wall for the cooler months.
