2019 marks 30 years of successfully operating in the Aged Care Industry for Joe and Ann Alexander. Westgate Aged Care, formerly known as Westgate Private Nursing Home has been serving Newport and the surrounding community in its current location since 1981 – over 38 years.
In 1994, Joe and Ann saw an opportunity at Westgate Aged Care to vastly improve upon the quality of care offered to the elderly in Aged Care benefitting from Ann’s considerable knowledge and experience of nearly 25 years of nursing clinical care including many years worked at, regional nursing in the Shepparton area, Royal Children’s Hospital, PANCH (now Northern Hospital), Repatriation Hospital (now Austin Hospital).
Originally migrating from Kerala in India’s south some 50 years ago, both Joe and Ann bring with them a culture imbedded with the DNA of respecting and caring for our elderly with the utmost respect. It is this same care and respect that drives the culture of Westgate Aged Care and its staff to provide a high quality home away from home for our valued elderly clients. This same high level of quality of care is often noted in Accreditation visits by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.
Over the years as the business has developed and the industry changed, Westgate Aged Care became a family business which has grown to include Jayson and David, their sons. Joe and Ann decided to concentrate their efforts into Westgate Aged Care and 2013 a significant extension of 30 premium private suites and lounges was completed which house the Banksia and Daffodil wings.
