Dementia Friendly Aged Care

Dementia Friendly Facilities

Our aged care facilities feel like home, and our dementia wings have been designed to cater specifically for dementia aged care.

Thoughtful Interior Design

In our newer facilities & refurbishments:

• Way-finding fabrics and artwork at lift areas and nurses stations help with orientation
• 30% of the seating is a different colour to help identify where to sit
• Neutral floor colours ensure flow when surface materials
• Pattered furniture ensures it can be easily identified in contrast to floor colour, this even extends to chair legs so furniture is not seen to be floating

Many of our special care wings also include sensory objects and sensory gardens to offer stimulation for people living with dementia. We also value the importance of music therapy, such as silent discos, and reminiscence in our dementia aged care activity programs.

Our special care wings offer private single rooms with an ensuite bathroom, with access to a variety of small lounge rooms and meal areas, as well as landscaped gardens.

These little things can have a big effect on a person’s independence and ability to feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings.
