The 'Lions House' will play an important role with the Mercy Hospital for Women, Austin Health and the Repatriation Hospitals when the new facility is built. It will provide support to those families of patients needing longer term accommodation to be near them while in hospital. It will provide accommodation for families from outer suburban, rural and interstate areas.
Travelling long distances, plus the accommodation expense can result in emotional stress and a financial burden for those who want to comfort and support an ill relative or friend. The "Lions House" will remove that added pressure and provide support to these families.
'Lions House' is being designed to provide our guests with an atmosphere which will comfort and take away a little part of the worry, in an otherwise difficult time. It will allow for both solitude, but more importantly support, in being around other people who understand being in similar situations.
