Records
Disability Services holds client records from The Home for Incurables and its successors, from the Strathmont Centre and Ru Rua Nursing Home. These include the following:
- Client Registers for the Home for Incurables. Registers list the following information on each resident (1) date of birth, (2) malady, (3) the date of residence, (4) religion and (5) next of kin information.
- Client files for the Strathmont Centre. These detailed client files provide more information. These files remain current as long as clients are resident at the Centre.
- Client files for Ru Rua Nursing Home.
- Client files often contain notes or assessments dating from a client's first contact with a disability service. In the past when services merged or were replaced, the files and/or information from files were often combined. For this reason information from different services, such as Minda Home, may appear on a client file. Before the State Records Act was passed, when services merged or if a client passed away some files were destroyed.
