The ‘Memory Support Unit’ (Seagull) is one of the best Dementia–Specific Units you can find. My husband was a resident in Seagull from September 2022 to December 2025. Over the time, I have witnessed an evolving Memory Support Unit into a Unit of Excellence with increasing interaction, engagement, wellbeing and lifestyle activities. This is an ongoing process giving the residents the best quality of life that can be achieved. The Care Manager and Clinical Nurse Educator ensure the best nursing care practices are in place and staff are continually updated with new practices and skills. Many innovative ideas and proven ways of caring for those with Dementia have been implemented and this continues as an ongoing with a dedicated Wellbeing and Lifestyle Coordinator who is continually finding new ways and ideas to improve each resident’s quality of life. Lifestyle Activities are run 7 days per week offering a large variety of group & individual fun activities & purpose orientated craft, concerts and outings. Jigsaws, puzzles, etc are always available. Craft activities are organised with a purpose…items made can be used in their rooms, used as gifts for family or sold at the annual Market Stall which Opal runs so as the Market comes to the Residents. Each resident is treated as an individual with love and respect. Plans are created to meet a resident’s specific needs at the time and updated as needs change. If there is challenging behaviour, they will seek outside support for the resident and staff. Families are important and regarded as part of the Seagull family. Family members are well supported through all stages of the dementia journey from the first time they step inside the Seagull Unit. Staff are always ready and willing to support the family in whatever way they can. This can be with one-on-one chats, debrief sessions and meetings with members of the Opal Leadership Team. In response to family members’ initiative re the possibility of setting up a Support Group for family members from Seagull Unit, this was received with very positive encouragement and has been meeting regularly for 18 months. This has bonded families who are experiencing life with a loved one in the Memory Support Unit. A very important Support Network. When my husband passed away on Christmas Eve, he was surrounded by an excellent Care Team who supported him and our family during his final hours in a loving and respectful way while demonstrating their exemplary professionalism in an emotional situation for the family and all staff as he had been a very loved member of the Seagull family for a long time.
In approximately June this year and subject to regulatory approvals, ownership of BlueCross’ 31 Aged Care Residences and its Home Care services will be transferred to Opal HealthCare.
