In times when aged care is becoming an increasing concern for social welfare and community infrastructure, it is with great excitement that a brand new concept in aged care has been released.Supported Living is an innovative alternative to traditional aged care, offering an option between low and high care facilities. The core focus of Supported Living is excellent on-site care and wellness services which cater for all levels of care, whilst encouraging residents to maintain their independence.
This is an integral concept for “Ageing in Place”.
“Ageing in Place has been a concern for government initiatives for quite some time. Supported Living now offers a sustainable solution to heightened care demands that will reduce these enormous pressures”, says Sales and Marketing Manager for the group.
Stylish 1 and 2 bedroom practical homes are fully self contained with kitchens, dining and living areas. A separate laundry allows residents to maintain their total independence.
A central leisure and community centre offers a full range of enjoyable activities which residents are encouraged to take part in organised by an Activities Co-Ordinator. An on-site restaurant offers nutritious, traditional home cooked meals, giving residents the choice of preparing meals in their own kitchen or dining at the restaurant.
One of the great benefits of Supported Living is that couples can live together even if they have differing health requirements.
There are many married couples who are forced to live apart due to ailing health or frailty. Now they have an option which means they can live together and manage their care requirements independently.
One of the key benefits is residents are not subject to means or assets testing and veterans can still utilise their full entitlements.
Location has been a well thought out consideration for this Supported Living community. It is close to shops, medical facilities and public transportation with direct access to the new Rochedale shopping centre.
