Age well choices

As people live longer, the importance of ageing well is increasing.
Uniting AgeWell understands the desire of older people to live in an environment of choice, empowerment and wellness.
People stay healthier when they are in control of their environment and can maintain community connections.
The AgeWell concept focuses on what people can do, supports choice and independence and pays attention to the spiritual and pastoral needs of clients, as well as their physical, intellectual, social and emotional needs.
Uniting AgeWell’s residential care provides a safe, stimulating environment where activity is encouraged and companionship is fostered.
All Uniting AgeWell’s residential homes offer activities such as group exercise, gardening, creative arts, music and sensory therapy, reminiscence groups and outings.
Services including physiotherapy, podiatry, dietician services, speech therapy, occupational therapy and hairdressing are also available.
Meals are fresh and nutritious and take account of dietary requirements, both cultural and religious.
Uniting AgeWell’s Community Care offers a wide range of supports and packages to help people to remain living in their home.
Uniting AgeWell residential units are Kalkee’s Murray in Spring Street Belmont and Nangatta in High Street Belmont.
Its independent living units are Costa Court Serviced Apartments in Settlement Road Belmont and Kalkee in Francis and Spring Street Belmont.
