Sir Eric Pearce House

Joyce Cleary entered SEPH as a permanent resident in April 2009 having lived in Richmond for the past 60 years. The family were very anxious to carry out her wishes to ensure that she entered aged care at SEPH. It was very pleasing for all parties involved to see her reunite with her old friends and continue to do the things she loves in her local community. “We are never really sure when she is home, resting in her room, because she enjoys the Richmond Senior Citizens events, The Caring Cafe outings, the various in-house activities. The weekly lunches outings with her daughter in-law, community bingo sessions and her home visit from her local GP.&rdquol “I am happy to be busy and if I need anything, I know that someone is always there” Joyce
