(2)-(3) State Government hospitals in the rural sector have traditionally provided nursing home type care where access to local residential aged care specific facilities are not available. In recent years, the State has upgraded a number of rural hospitals, adding permanent care wings to provide nursing home type patients with a home-like atmosphere. There are approximately 190 nursing home type patients currently receiving care in rural hospitals in the State. The stand-alone aged care facilities owned by the State are at: - Numbala Nunga Nursing Home, Derby – up to 50 residents; - Yulanya Nursing Home, Port Hedland – up to 30 residents; - Brookton Nursing Home, Brookton – up to 21 residents. Under the Multi-Purpose Service (MPS) program between the State, the Commonwealth and rural communities, the pooling of resources has enabled small aged care facilities in country towns to either enter into a lease agreement, or transfer ownership of all facilities and assets to the local Health Service Board.
