MSL purchases Nursing Port Stephens Pty Ltd
Multiple Sclerosis Limited (MSL) has successfully completed the purchase of stand-alone business entity Nursing Port Stephens Pty Ltd, the organisation that owns regional New South Wales private nursing service
Care for You at Home.
Care for You at Home is a trusted provider of professional care to NDIS participants, veterans, seniors and others in their homes and in the community, throughout Port Stephens, Newcastle, Maitland, Dungog and the Mid-North Coast areas.
With the acquisition of Nursing Port Stephens, MSL becomes an Approved Aged Care Provider. This aligns with
MSL’s Strategic Directions 2020-2025 and the focus on broadening the provision of services to people with other neurological conditions and those aged over 65.
MSL’s entry into aged care means that, across all jurisdictions in which MSL operates, people with MS and other neurological conditions who are aged over 65 and are eligible for My Aged Care funding, will start to have greater access to our services.
The purchase is great news for Care for You at Home clients, staff and the community, as well as people living with MS and other neurological conditions for whom MSL provides a range of allied health, NDIS, employment and education programs.
MSL plans to honour the heritage of this excellent community-based nursing and support service, while progressively expanding its wellbeing services over time, particularly those for consumers aged over 65.
MSL would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the strong support from the board during this complex and important project.
The CEO’s office will continue to manage the transition process, with Rob McClay, our General Manager Strategic Projects, joining the executive team to oversee day-to-day operations of Care for You at Home.
This is a very exciting day for MSL and our clients.
