Star of the Sea Aged Care Residence’s brand new Memory Support unit is the latest addition to its state of the art facilities.
The Torquay aged-care residence’s new wing is an intimate and dignified area that caters for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Star of the Sea is a new 96-bed aged care residence that supports the Montessori Method for aging and dementia.
The Montessori Method is an innovative approach that encourages residents to perform meaningful tasks and activities within their ability and interests, allowing them to experience an enriched life.
“We are very excited to announce that our Memory Support wing has opened up,” Star of the Sea’s Pip Walker said.
“The staff have created a calm, family friendly environment where they interact closely with residents, getting to know their interests and provide them with activities that they have grown to love throughout their life.
“For example we have a number of residents who revel in our music therapy. Residents enjoy playing their own instruments, taking part in our singing groups or even just relaxing in Star of the Sea’s beautiful lounge spaces while listening to their favourite tunes.
“Others enjoy art and craft, exercises and even cooking when we have onsite functions such as the Biggest Morning Tea. Finding out what one loves to do plays a big part in creating a calm, friendly environment.”
Ideally situated at 1290 Horseshoe Bend Road in Torquay, Star of the Sea also expertly caters to those looking for the very best in personalised aged care. For more information, visit vmch.com.au or phone 8593 8444.
