When you move into one of our Care Communities for long-term residential aged care we strive to help you feel at home every day. Each one of our Care Communities are fully accredited by the Australian Aged Care Quality Commission and has a registered nurse on every shift, every day and night. Each individual has different care needs, from assistance with personal care or day-to-day tasks through to 24-hour nursing care. Our care teams partner with you to deliver the care that best suits your needs and choices.
Types of Care within Residential Aged Care
Our services include respite care,palliative care and Memory Care Neighbourhoods with supportive environments designed for people living with dementia. Physiotherapy, podiatry and other allied health services are available and there are Wellness Centres on site in many of our Care Communities.
Leisure and lifestyle in Residential Aged Care
There are a range of leisure and lifestyle activities available to you and we encourage you to pursue your interests and maintain connections in the community that are important to you.
We work to ensure that our residents lead a purposeful life and pursue their passions by engaging in lifestyle activities that bring joy to both heart and mind.
Our lifestyle teams build activity programs to engage everyone within our Care Community and provide a connection to the local community. Many foster relationships with local schools where residents and children enjoy engaging in regular visits, while forming special relationships, and sharing and learning from each other. Regular bus trips are a highlight for many, taking in visits to shops, parks, beaches, and community events.
Technology can also play a part in broadening horizons. Virtual reality goggles help you to visit favourite places around the world or explore new ones. Tablet devices are available for entertainment and maintaining important connections. Our ROMPA interactive projection system provides hours of fun with games and quizzes that engage both body and mind.
Animals also play an important part in daily life in our Care Communities. Some homes have resident pets such as cats, dogs, chickens or birds. Others welcome family pets or an array of interesting furred and feathered friends for regular visits.
As an important part of the local community, our Care Communities often host events for the wider community including fairs, markets, concerts, and dances.
