Group Homes Australia Eastern Suburbs

The Eastern Suburbs feature some of Sydney’s most well known and loved beaches including Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach. In fact, the coastal walk between these two beaches is often recommended as a great way to spend the day out! One of Australia’s leading universities is located in the suburb of Kensington, which is only 11 minutes from the City of Sydney.

The Group Homes Australia model is firmly built on the belief that people should thrive in a home environment. Traditional and beautiful homes, on ordinary suburban streets around Australia, where 6 to 10 residents live together. Residents have 24-hour support including dementia care, palliative and respite care, which is provided by a team of staff that we call Homemakers.

Group Homes Australia has 3 homes in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs:

• Carrington Rd, Waverly
• New South Head Rd, Rose Bay
• New South Head Rd, Vaucluse

Group Homes Australia is an innovative and world-leading model offering dementia care, high care, respite and palliative care in a welcoming environment that values independence and resident involvement in the daily activities of the home. Our residents live with dignity and sense of purpose in a small scale environment.

The Group Homes model is the first of its kind in Australia and focuses on creating a home, instead of an institution, that emphasises the resident’s abilities rather than their disabilities. Each home has trained staff on site 24/7, called homemakers, a high ratio of staff to residents – and is the very opposite of the institutionalised care model.

The care team are dementia and aged care trained and they are referred to as Homemakers. Registered Nurses are also available around the clock as well as a full allied health team, and social workers, who visit each home as required.

Homemakers support and assist residents with their daily needs and activities; they encourage residents to be engaged in shopping, cooking, baking, gardening – the full range of tasks that bring a sense of purpose in a normal home. There are no call bells or nursing trolleys, no rigid routines around waking up, or meal times. The Group Homes Australia model celebrates life, and allows the residents to live with purpose and flourish.
