Welcome to Fernlea Community Care
Fernlea Community Care is a not-for-profit Day Respite Centre, with locations in Emerald and Pakenham. We also offer In-Home Care services to support individuals in the comfort of their own homes. We are committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care to those in need.
Our services are proudly funded by the Australian Government through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), supporting older Australians to live independently and stay connected to their community.
Helping to open up a conversation about dying and death
In the End: A practical guide to dying is a book for everyone. It is not just for those at the end of their life; it is for families, carers, friends, health professionals, counsellors and those who just want to be well prepared. It can help to open up a conversation on an often taboo subject, but an experience we'll all eventually share.
​
Not confronting or challenging, the book provides information and practical resources to help better understand dying and to plan a unique and positive end of life.
