Wintringham Specialist Aged Care, based in Victoria, Australia,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wintringham website )〕 is a secular, not-for-profit welfare company providing advocacy, support and aged care services to elderly homeless men and women, and to financially disadvantaged elderly people who are at risk of homelessness. ==History== Wintringham was established in 1989 by Bryan Lipmann. He had been working as a jackaroo in the bush and, on returning to Melbourne, undertook a Social Work degree. He got a job working at Gordon House, one of Melbourne’s night shelters, where up to 300 homeless men and women lived, some of them for years, under scarifying conditions.〔Gawenda, Michael (1983). "Survival: A struggle against despair on the streets". The Age.〕 It became Wintringham’s mantra that clients are “aged and homeless” and not “homeless and aged” and therefore should be part of Australia’s mainstream federal aged care funding program and not the homeless services system. In 2013, Elaine Farrelly, a Melbourne-based freelance writer, published a book about the history of Wintringham called ("The Wintringham Story" ). In November 2015, the Lord Mayor of Melbourne awarded Bryan Lipmann "Melburnian of the Year' 〔('City of Melbourne website Melburnian of the Year' )〕 in acknowledgement of his significant contribution to the life of the city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wintringham Specialist Aged Care」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
