Living at Ibis Care Residences

Offering engaging activities, nutritious meals, and specialised services like dementia care, we focus on your unique needs and interests.
Making our homes your new home means having 24-hour dedicated expert care, whilst still maintaining your local community connections and all the things you enjoy. We focus on what’s important to you so you can continue to live a happy and fulfilling life in your new home.
Individualised Care Planning
We respect your individuality and offer a range of activities and services to support you to live the life you want. Your beliefs, your experiences and your passions – they are an important part of you and what makes you unique. Both of our aged care residences offer a range of affordable care options including Commonwealth funding.
Working with you and your family, we will develop an individual care plan to match your specific requirements. And because we offer a wide range of aged care services, it’s nice to know that if your needs should change in the future, you can continue receiving excellent, specialised care in comfortable and familiar surroundings.

Engaging Leisure & Lifestyle Program

From engaging art classes and energising exercise sessions to Zumba, board games, outdoor gardening, interesting crafts, live entertainment, pet therapy visits, fun games of bingo, and exciting bus outings, our diverse activities are crafted to give residents physically, mentally, and socially active.
Whether to be active or relaxed, residents find comfort and connections in the options available. It’s all about personal choice and fostering a fulfilling lifestyle.
Food, Nutrition & the Dining Experience
We understand how important nutritious and wholesome food is – that’s why we have qualified chefs, cooks and catering teams in our homes who cook on-site to deliver balanced, quality meals to each and every one of our residents. Fresh seasonal ingredients are used to create beautiful dishes and everyone’s favourite comfort foods.
Memory Support Services
Ibis Care provides targeted services, specialised staff and facilities to support residents living with dementia. People living with dementia experience symptoms that may affect their memory, thinking, behaviour and ability to perform everyday activities.
Through our dementia care model, we provide tailored programs to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia. These programs include meaningful engagement and sensory activities designed to promote choice and help residents live the best life possible.
Ageing in Place
As you grow older, your care needs may change over time. Our homes offer ‘ageing in place’, meaning you can continue to receive continuity of care without the need to move to another residence as your care needs increase.
However, if the environment is no longer appropriate to ensure your well-being, we will consult with you and your family to consider other options that may suit your needs.
