Fronditha will open a new 90 bed facility in Thornbury called Anesi on Saturday 13 April. The new facility still needs an additional boost from donations and sponsorship from the community, so the care facility are holding a radiothon on Friday 12 April and Saturday 13 April to assist the ongoing upkeep of the facility. The radiothon, hosted by 3XY, will be the community’s chance to give back to the aged care facility in support of the work they do.
Fronditha Care is a community based organisation providing services to Australian elders of Greek speaking background. Fronditha has been in existence since 1976 and enjoys broad support from the Greek Community. Fronditha is the only organisation providing a range of residential and support services to the Greek speaking elderly in Victoria.
Services provided by Fronditha aim to ensure that Greek speaking elderly are able to live in a residential facility or remain at home and be supported by an agency which shares their language, history, religious values, attitudes, rituals, celebrations, music and food. In essence, all the elements that have, and continue to play a central role in their lives.
