Weston Closure

Our aim is for Regis Weston to cease providing care and services on or before 10 October.

We have written to the relevant government departments and informed them that despite legislation stating we are required to give two weeks’ notice we will support residents and families with a transition timeframe that extends into October if needed.

In recognition that Regis has made the decision to close Regis Weston, if you choose to accept a room within another Regis Home then we will ensure that you are not financially disadvantaged as a result of the move and will honour the terms of your current agreement, even if the Regis room we identify as a suitable alternative has higher fees or charges than your current room.

If you decide to move to different accommodation than what we offer you as part of our consultation process, or accommodation not owned and operated by Regis, then your fees and charges will be negotiated and determined separately to this offer and/or directly with the alternative provider.

If you choose to move to another Regis Home, we will make arrangements to roll over the RAD to your new room if you would like us to do so. We will also help facilitate the transfer of RAD monies to other providers if you should choose to accept an offer at another Home.

If your respite stay is due to continue beyond the closure of the Home, we will assist you to find an alternative location to complete that respite stay.

Regis has seven Homes in and around Perth and Fremantle, and one in Bunbury.

The Homes are: Regis Nedlands, Regis Woodlands, Regis Port Coogee, Regis North Fremantle, Regis Como, Regis Embleton, Regis Greenmount and Regis Bunbury.

Once a new Home and date of admission has been confirmed, our team will provide all necessary support for preparing for re-locating, including packing and transport arrangements if required.

You are welcome to take advantage of the resources provided by Regis to identify your new Home, or free to choose to make your own arrangements separate to Regis if you prefer. The external consultant we have engaged will be able to assist you identifying Homes outside of the Regis group.

Once the Home is closed, Regis will not be running an aged care service from Weston and so it will not be possible to accommodate residents beyond the closure date.

Each resident and their family will have support from Regis (and/or the external consultant engaged by Regis) to ensure that an appropriate placement is found, which will of course take into account preferences and needs of that particular family.

As residents begin to transition into their new living arrangements, we will continue to monitor service levels at the Home to ensure there is appropriate staffing on site.

Access to professional medical advice that you trust is very important.

Regis will facilitate continuity of access to your current doctor, if your current doctor agrees to continue to treat you. If, as a result of relocation, you would prefer a change of medical practitioner, then we will provide you with details of others located close to your new Home and with your signed authority to do so, will facilitate the transfer of your records.

Yes. With your consent we will ensure that any special care or meal plans are transferred to your new accommodation. We have also planned for employees to support our residents transitioning into new Homes, whether this is with Regis or another provider.

Yes. You may ask members of your family, a close friend or representative to participate in the meetings with you. We welcome any representative that you would like to be involved.

Also, if you or members of your family have any queries about the process, they are most welcome to contact the General Manager of Regis Weston: in person via Reception; by phone on 08 9380 5892; or in writing by email to westongm@regis.com.au.

If you require help, or you know someone else who needs to have this information translated, Regis is happy to provide the necessary support. Please speak to the General Manager of Regis Weston who will be happy to arrange translation services.

When you move to a new Home a new resident agreement will need to be signed to comply with current legislation, but we will honour any pre-existing arrangements to ensure you are not financially disadvantaged by the transfer if you remain within the Regis Group.

If a home other than a Regis Home is selected, new terms and conditions in accordance with that provider’s policies and procedures would apply. You may wish to discuss this further with your Regis contact or the external consultant available.

Yes. Once your new Home has been selected and a date of admission has been confirmed, our team will provide all necessary support for preparing for re-locating, including packing and transport arrangements if required.

Yes. We can arrange for you to speak to a Financial Advisor to ensure you are not disadvantaged.
