Orroroo Community Home initially commenced in the original stone building in Fourth Street in 1965, providing very low care accomodation to 21 elderly community members, progressing to 'ageing in place,' and more recently to a 26 bed high care Residential Aged Care Facility that it is today. Staff skill mix has been revised to meet the higher care needs of the residents.In addition, to meet the standards of aged care provision, the physical location also changed to the new 16 bed facility in Fifth Street in 2001 and eventually to 5 beds at the hospital in 2010 and closure of the original building. In 2012 Orroroo successfully gained approval for 5 more Commonwealth licensed beds at the hospital. Today we have 26 Commonwealth Aged Care beds providing high care, with a choice of location either at the hospital or the Community Home.The local community is very proud of Orroroo Community Home and strongly support the facility by donations of time, money and reso
