Residential Aged Care
When it comes to Residential Aged Care, we’re people first.
At BaptistCare, we are committed to providing person-centred care that promotes independence, quality of life, and a sense of belonging. Our homes are strong and supportive communities, with caring, attentive staff who will welcome and support you as you settle in, and provide ongoing, tailored care to meet your individual needs and preferences.
We understand that when you move home it’s a big step and there’s a lot to talk about. So we want you to know that we will listen – it’s one of our greatest strengths.
We also know that everyone is different. We’re all individuals with our own needs and preferences. That’s why we make it our priority to listen to you and really get to know you beyond your immediate health needs.
You’re becoming part of our BaptistCare community, so you can look forward to a unique and enjoyable lifestyle – one that will suit you perfectly.
A personalised approach
With over 80 years of caring, we know it’s the small things in life that can make your day.
By choosing BaptistCare, you can be assured of receiving a personalised approach to all aspects of your care.
We understand that although moving is a big step, it is made a lot easier with the help of a supportive team that listens to what you need in order for you to feel at home.
From the moment you are warmly welcomed at BaptistCare, we will be putting your needs first. Our caring and compassionate team members will be looking for ways to help you feel comfortable and settle in to your new home.
Accommodation options
Our Residential Aged Care homes provide accommodation and care, enabling you to maintain your health and wellbeing.
Before moving into a Residential Aged Care home, an assessment by the My Aged Care assessors is required. The outcome of this assessment will recommend the type of services or accommodation that best suits your needs.
BaptistCare offers three different styles of residential care, each tailored to support the individual needs of you or your loved one.
Standard residential care
If you or your loved one can no longer live independently at home, we can provide permanent accommodation and support.
Our homes cater to all levels of care, allowing us to support you as your care needs change over time.
Respite care
Short-term accommodation for those who need a place to stay while recovering from a hospital visit.
If you or your loved one are usually cared for at home, respite can also be used to give your carer a break.
Memory support/dementia care
Most of our homes have dedicated rooms and spaces that offer a safe, secure, and comfortable environment to meet the specific needs of individuals living with dementia or cognitive impairment. We provide therapeutic activities designed to enrich the lives of residents living with dementia, including pet therapy, music therapy, arts and crafts, cooking classes, and gardening.
Respite rooms are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed at all homes.
Your life at BaptistCare
