IBF is South Australia’s largest Italian Aged Care organisation and we also attract clients and residents from all cultural backgrounds who appreciate our family values, warmth and genuine care.

This year we have launched our

Healthcare College

which is an RTO dedicated to training Aged Care professionals to work in both the IBF organisation and others.

We offer a diverse range of community service programs and have four residential facilities across metropolitan Adelaide.

Life Foundation and Pronto Programs

Our commitment is to provide a culturally and linguistically appropriate Support Service to frail elderly Italians living in the western metropolitan including the inner south/west metropolitan regions of Adelaide.
The Life Foundation Program is seeking to expand it's program by recruiting more volunteers so that we can meet the needs of our clients.
Some Pronto clients have repeatedly expressed that they would like to personally meet the volunteers who ring them. Volunteers have expressed they would also like to meet the clients. We have started arranging with clients and volunteers for a mutually convenient time for them to meet one per week so that they can still ring other clients.
Currently our volunteers ring clients on the Pronto program twice a week. More volunteers are needed to meet the demanding needs of this program.
Support Sessions for our volunteers are held 3 times per year and we either provide training and support or to discuss any issues/ideas at these sessions.
Relevant Organisational training is offered to our volunteers and we are having a higher number attending than previously.
A "Spaghettata Day" for all HACC & NRCP centre based volunteers will be held at Padre Pio Centre, Renown Park so that they can meet fellow volunteers from other programs. Volunteers have offered to contribute by supplying and cooking pasta. Another has offered to bring in sweets. A date yet to be decided for later this year.
IBF is working closely with Volunteering SA and will feature in their quarterly Vitality Magazine showcasing the work our volunteers perform.

PROGRAMMI LIFE FOUNDATION E PRONTO

Il nostro impegno e` di fornire dei servizi di supporto culturalmente e linguisticamente appropriati per gli Italiani che vivono nella area metropolitana ovest (inclusa la zona sud - ovest) di Adelaide.
Il Life Foundation Program sta cercando di sviluppare il programma trovando ancora volontari per affrontare i bisogni dei nostri clienti.
Alcune clienti del programma Pronto hanno chiesto diverse volte di conoscere personalmente i volontare che le telefonano. Anche i volontari hanno chiesto di conoscere i clienti. Ho incomminciato ad organnizzare di portare i volontari a conoscere i clienti, uno ogni settimana, cosi` possano ancora chiamare l'altri clienti.
Al momento i nostri volontari telefonano i clienti del programma Pronto due volte alla settimana. Abbiamo bisogno di altri volontari per affrontare i bisogni impegnativi di questo programma.
Svolgiamo Sessioni d'Appoggio per i nostri volontari 3 volte all'anno e provvediamo formazione e appoggio o per discutere problemi/idea.
Vengono offerte ai nostri volontari formazione pertinente dell'organizzazione e abbiamo piu` volontari di prima presente per queste formazione.
Una "Spaghettata" per tutti i volontari dei programmi HACC e NRCP basate in un centro si svolgera` al Centro Padre Pio, Renown Park per conoscere volontari di altri programmi. I volontari hanno offerto di contribuire provvedendo e cucinando la pasta. Un'altra ha offerto di portare il dolce. La data da decidere per piu` tardi nell'anno.
