Torquay’s newest aged care residence, Star of the Sea, has opened the door to comfortable coastal living.
Villa Maria Catholic Homes’ customer care manager Pip Walker is absolutely thrilled with the 96-bed “state-of-the-art” residence, open since Monday.
“It’s great to be able to offer such a beautiful place for residents,” she says.
“It’s just down the road from Torquay’s pristine beaches, boutiques and shopping centres. Whether you’re walking, on a scooter or in a car it’s really easy to get around the local area.”
With 10 years’ working at the adjacent retirement village, Pip understands the changing needs of seniors.
“At Star of the Sea, we tailor care and attention to the individual’s needs and desires”
“But even for those not as active, we’ll have our volunteers and fabulous staff helping them stay engaged in the community.”
All rooms come complete with a television, comfortable arm chair, private ensuite and access to Foxtel.
“The residence has elegantly decorated lounge areas throughout, and all rooms are generously sized with a calming colour palate,” Pip says.
“There is even room to bring your favourite piece of furniture and hang paintings on the wall to create a homely environment.“
Star of the Sea will hold an open day on 21 October from 10am to 1pm with live entertainment, food and fun for the kids.
“This will be a great opportunity for people to see what a beautiful place this really is,” Pip says.
