A part of the Western Australia community since 1901, Brightwater has developed an enviable reputation for service, flexibility and innovation making us one of Western Australia’s best known and largest providers of quality residential, rehabilitation and community care for people with disabilities and older people.
Brightwater also has an extensive Home Care service that is available to people of all ages in need of support in their own homes. We also offer Transition Care which is temporary assistance after a time in hospital or whilst you are looking for a permanent residential home.
A period of dynamic change and development over the past two decades has seen Brightwater grow and diversify. Brightwater has developed Linen and Catering businesses that provide quality services to its own homes and also to other similar organisations, hotels, mine sites and hospitals throughout Western Australia. Being not-for-profit means any surplus income is returned directly to the organisation to improve facilities and services, something that Brightwater is very passionate about.
We also have an Award winning over 55s community, Kingsway Court, specifically developed and designed to meet the needs of over 55s and retired West Australians.
Brightwaters’ team of experienced health professionals continue to raise standards of support through constant personal and professional improvement, dedication and partnership with clients, families, professionals, governments, suppliers and the community.

For many of us, conversations about health and wellbeing naturally migrate to the mind and body. But what about the spirit? The spirit is neither mind nor body. It’s an immaterial force that shapes who we are and influences our actions. It’s the part of us that asks those big life questions, encouraging us to seek meaning and search for more.
As people, we need people. It’s as simple as that. But we don’t just need people to make our world go round. We need people to make our world mean something. Not only do friends make us laugh, keep us company and play a feature role in our memories, they’re also vital for our wellbeing.
In Australia, one in three people over 65 experience a fall each year. If you think that’s a worrying statistic, you’re right. Falls are the leading cause of hospitalisation for Australian seniors, with an average of seven days spent in hospital following a slip, trip or stumble.
It can be hard trying to navigate through the silent but implied age restrictions that society puts on things. Simply typing ‘am I too old’ in Google will enlighten you on the things we worry are no longer age-appropriate, like long hair, study, Doc Martens and dating apps. According to Brightwater Care, the answer to all those search questions is no. Because nobody can tell you you’re too old for something – except for you of course.
If you’ve got a green thumb, then you probably already know why gardening is good for your health and wellbeing. But if you occasionally get your fingernails dirty and could do with a bit of convincing, then brace yourself...
Despite how common it is, often it’s only when someone close to us is affected that we really understand what it means to be living with dementia.
Most parents know that letting your children play and express themselves is important for their development, not just physically and emotionally, but also socially and intellectually. But creative expression isn’t just for kids. And it’s not just for ‘creative types’, either. Whether you consider yourself creative or not, there’s a bit of it in all of us.
What's not to love about a good quote? They're little snippets of bigger ideas that motivate us to move more, inspire us to give back and even make us laugh out loud. But in a world where the word 'ageing' is often paired with 'anti', quotes that put a positive spin on the completely normal process of getting older are worth their weight in gold. Brightwater Care recently shared some of their favourites.
As a deaf client living with dementia and macular degeneration at Brightwater’s Madeley residence, Reg had little desire to socialise and was spending a lot of time isolated in his room.
What better friend is there than a four-legged one? It’s hard to deny the unconditional love of a pet. When you’ve had a dreadful day, it’s easy to sweep away your sorrows with the warm embrace of a cuddly canine or a faithful feline. Considering watching cat videos on YouTube actually does put you in a good mood, is it safe to assume that pets offer plenty of health benefits? The short answer? Yes. But keep reading – here are four big reasons why pets are so good for wellbeing.
There’s a lot more to home care than housework. Sure, it’s a big part of helping seniors maintain independence in the comfort of their own homes, but that’s not all there is to it.
Downsizing in your golden years isn’t just about ditching high maintenance housework. It’s also about finding a home and a community that fits your carefree new lifestyle. Naturally, there’ll be a bunch of boxes that need ticking to justify your decision to downsize. Of course, like purchasing any property, you’ll need to get your head around the financials. But what else should you look for in a retirement village?
Most of us have loved music for as long as we can remember. As babies, we bond with our mothers over softly sung lullabies. As kids, we bob up and down to Disney tunes. As teenagers, we zone out in our bedrooms to our favourite playlist and as adults, we reminisce about the good ol’ days whenever we hear the classics. Humans love music because it makes us feel good. But have you ever wondered why?
