Each room features built in wardrobes, with private ensuites in the single rooms. Double rooms have a shared ensuite. Many of the rooms are equipped with overhead tracking enabling staff to safely transfer non-mobile residents.
As a resident, you are encouraged to personalise your space with soft furnishings, photographs and mementos. All rooms have access to telephone lines and television antenna.
Our beds are electric and height adjustable. Sensor mats are provided as a safety measure for anyone who may need them. Bedside areas, bathrooms and lounge areas have access to the nurse call bell should assistance be required. External doors are fitted with electronic keypads.
Each lounge has a flat screen TV and access to DVD players for resident use. There is a large group of engaged volunteers who assist with scheduled activities to ensure residents have the opportunity to participate in areas of interest.
A registered nurse manages your care at all times, and a range of allied health services can be provided including dietetics and speech pathology. You can also access a range of visiting services including your own GP, hairdressing and other services as required.
