NewDirection Care at Bellmere

New Direction Care - Introducing the world’s first inclusive, small scale living community in Bellmere north of Brisbane.

Winner of the Facility of the Year 2017 and Best Silver Architecture 2016, New Direction Care offers the essence of modern day living for those in their twilight years.

Perfectly located between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, New Direction Care is a $35 million residential care community expertly designed offering state of the art living that’s focused around you.

Although this level of care, lifestyle & luxury may seem unattainable in Aged Care for all but the wealthiest in our community, New Direction Care is open to everyone with an ACAT Assessment, including those supported by the Government.

Now that is a completely new direction in aged care - the first of its kind anywhere in the world.

Domestic-style living

New Direction Care features elegant seven-bedroom homes all with ensuites and spacious built-ins. Cleverley designed and styled by Shaynna Blaze.

Coupled with a functional open plan kitchen showcasing the latest appliances, family dining room, cosy sitting rooms and private gardens that invite you in, making it a place you and your family will feel immediately at home.

With a style to fit your lifestyle, be it country living, modern urban, traditional or progressive Shaynna has it designed to the finest details.

Need to head to the shops for some groceries or check out what’s going on at the café? Maybe it’s time for a haircut, a manicure, an old fashioned shave from a seasoned barber or you fancy a massage?

• Corner store

Understanding values that matter to you

We have not compromised on the quality and design of your new home. At New Direction Care we know that what really makes a home is those that live with you.

We all have our own wants and needs, yet living with like-minded people is possible when we share similar core values, interests, hobbies and lifestyles.

To assist you with this we use a cutting edge profiling tool that draws out an individual’s social world view and personality traits with a particular focus on factors that influence living and interacting with others. This means you will live with like-minded people.

It’s all possible with a shared vision

As normal a life as possible with freedom, independence and choice.

We all want individuality and to be part of a community that is developed around meaningful relationships. Respect for each other, and putting yourself in someone else’s place ensures empathy.

Supported by a team of professionals and specialists

At New Direction Care we understand that at this stage in life it’s often the little things that matter. It’s our job to make sure we understand what that means for you.

Dedicated multi-skilled House Companions assist you as needed. They also provide a shoulder to cry on and join you around the dining room table at meal times just like in any family.

Registered Nurses available 24/7 provide for private visits in your home, or at the onsite clinic where you can also be reviewed by other professionals such as Doctors, a Dentist, Podiatrist and Massage Therapist.

With our Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Lifestyle Team and a Dementia Support Specialist we also understand that no matter how complex your care needs, additional support to help you maintain a normal life, health and wellness is never too far away.
