Statement In Partnership with the Community
The
Toowoomba Hospice was built at a cost of $1.2 million and provides
six beds to people in their final stages of life. Modeled on the
Ipswich Hospice, the Toowoomba Hospice has been designed to provide
a home-like and private atmosphere for clients, friends and families. |
The building stands as a witness to the community's respect for
the sacredness of human life, for its concern for those very vulnerable
people who need loving care and support through perhaps the most
difficult phase of their lives.

The
building was constructed with three interconnecting sections:
administration, services section and the client suites. Administration
houses offices space, the board room and the prayer room. The
services section includes the kitchen and dining area, laundry
facility, therapy room and a family suite. The client suites are
all large and are all slightly different to accommodate different
clients needs, but all have their own bathroom and all enjoy plenty
of natural light. Each suite is equipped with reverse-cycle air-conditioning
specialized beds and equipment, however there is no obvious sign
of medical equipment. The privacy and comfort of clients and visitors
are of paramount concern to the whole facility. |
