Each staff member has undergone reference and security checks to ensure they are fully qualified, experienced and are passionate about working in the aged care sector. Our staff undergo ongoing training as well to make sure they are up to speed with the latest processes and knowledge. Emotional intelligence and sensitivity to diversity are other key factors that we take into consideration when recruiting staff into our Centre community.

Our approach to dementia care is led by each resident’s interests, feelings and emotions. We respect the rich lives they have led by tailoring our care based on their personal history in a dedicated dementia-friendly environment.

We offer a range of spacious single rooms with private ensuites, and the option of an interconnected room with shared ensuite. All rooms have large windows, allowing in plenty of natural light, with many rooms in view of the neighbouring mountains and hillsides.

Each room has:

• 24-hour emergency call system with pendants, giving residents more freedom to move
• WiFi and TV connection
• Built-in cupboards
• Air conditioning
• Electronically adjustable beds

This is your home, you are most welcome to bring in your own favourite items - photos, mementos and accessories to dress the room to your own taste and preferences.*

*All items must meet the Centre's work, health and safety guidelines. 

Meals are cooked daily onsite by a qualified chef in consultation with the dietician. The menu is regularly rotated to promote choice and take advantage of what is in season. Each meal has a selection of high protein, vegetarian and modified options. We also cater for special dietary and cultural requirements. 

Nutrition programs can also be organised as required.

We also have a daily exercise class, twice weekly walking group, strength and balance program and a diversional therapy program with our Centre’s diversional therapist.

Scheduled visits from the local GP and other Allied Health services as needed, including physiotherapist, occupational therapist, podiatrist and optometrist.

We have a holistic model of care. The Centre Chaplains play an important role in bringing this to life. We also have a chapel onsite. Whatever your beliefs, our Chaplains are here to assist in your spiritual and emotional journey, if you wish - because we don't have clients, only family.
