Yalukang Aged Care
Yalukang provides respite and permanent residential aged care. Our facilities are comfortable and safe and we promote the highest physical and mental function to optimise quality of life.
The origins of ‘Yalukang‘
The name ‘Yalukang’ was chosen in 2020 through extensive community consultation, including with the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation, a representative body for the Dja Dja Wurrung (Djaara) people.
Yalukang means “from the Campaspe River” in Dja Dja Wurrung language.
The Dja Dja Wurrung (Djaara) are the traditional owners of Country (djandak) the land upon which REDHS is located and delivers services. Notably REDHS also delivers services through the neighbouring Yorta Yorta Nation and Taungurung country.
Yalukang Aged Care Philosophy
- To create a friendly, homely environment while providing the best quality of life for residents through individualised, planned care
- To respect the privacy and dignity of residents and encourage participation and choice in decisions affecting their wellbeing
- To help to encourage independence and maximise the potential of every resident
- To provide a place that all residents feel happy and proud to call home during the latter years of their lives
