WE all make choices daily and living in aged care is no different. What to wear, what time to get up and go to bed, what to eat, and how to spend our time. Those choices drive the model of care at Shepparton Villages, where the residents set the agenda.
Living well, in the best way possible is at the heart of Shepparton Villages’ community spirit, supported by committed staff and volunteers.
“Our care for residents at any level is never compromised. We are very respectful of each individual and their right to choose. Our aim is to ensure all residents have the best day possible, whatever that may mean for them,” said CEO, Veronica Jamison.
Shepparton Villages is a community-based, non-profit providing high quality residential care across four homes and independent living units, with a wide range of services and facilities.
Residents can participate in an array of activities including bus trips, special events, movies, bingo, luncheons, hairdressing salon, library resources, and happy hour every Thursday at 4.30pm.
Located at Tarcoola Village, Maculata Place is surrounded by expansive lawns, walking tracks, Maculata Gums lining the driveway, wildlife, and over 4,000 trees and plants installed recently. It is a serene, picture-perfect environment.
“Both the ground and first floor areas lead from the foyer to communal areas, and onto residents’ homes. Each home is distinguished by an individual letterbox and memory box at the entry, with a doorbell to provide privacy and dignity. Residents can choose to be woken in the morning at a time that suits them, and we respect that,” said Ms Jamison.
“Residents enjoy large screen Smart TVs with access to movies, photos and messages from families, appointment reminders, activities and outings, and the menu for the day!”
Large king single beds with upholstered bedheads and matching soft furnishings, ample storage and a large private bathroom is home away from home for Maculata Place residents.
Dining areas are built around spacious kitchens for communal use. A full meal service is provided with options, including a buffet breakfast. However, residents can make a batch of scones, cook a meal with family and friends, or have a cup of tea with staff if they wish. There is also a private space with an adjoining balcony for family gatherings and special occasions, and coffee machines and snacks in various kitchen nooks available any time.
There are four internal courtyards, each with a specific theme and purpose, landscaped gardens, outdoor eating and activity areas, water features, a vegetable patch and furniture to relax and enjoy the ambience.
Shepparton Villages is more than an aged care facility. It is a community, a home, and a comfortable place to live well.
