BEST Employment has commenced management of Inverell Homes for the Aged this week, marking a new chapter for a valued Inverell community service.
Under an arrangement with Inverell Shire Council, BEST will manage and operate the homes, which provide low-cost residential accommodation for eligible aged pensioners.
The handover has been planned with residents at the centre of the transition.
Information packs were distributed to help update tenancy details, and BEST staff joined George and Gloria Kirk to host dedicated information sessions and support residents through the process.
BEST Chief Executive Officer Anna Watt said the organisation’s priority was to maintain continuity and build positive relationships with residents.
“This is about supporting the next chapter of a service that matters to Inverell. We want residents to feel informed and supported, and we are committed to managing these homes with care, respect and accountability.”
Ms Watt acknowledged the longstanding contribution of George and Gloria Kirk and the outgoing Inverell Homes for the Aged committee.
“The commitment of people who have cared for this service over many years deserves recognition. BEST is grateful for the opportunity to build on that contribution and continue serving the Inverell community.”
As management commences, BEST will progress routine property assessments and maintenance planning, with the aim of minimising disruption and supporting the ongoing operation of the homes.
