Wendy Lau's Company Details
Founded in 2012, Group Homes Australia offers a social model of care for people living with dementia.The homes exude a warm and friendly atmosphere and cater for 6-10 residents. Each resident receives personal, tailored care and our goal is that people live with dignity and a sense of purpose. We ensure that local neighbourhoods see our homes and residents as an integral part of the local community.A group home looks, smells and feels like a traditional home. Additionally, in contrast to alienating and anxiety-producing larger facilities, we provide a warm, engaging environment, where the highest quality of care is provided, and where people feel genuinely at home, supported by professionals who are passionate about what they do. Group homes that specialise in care for older loved ones are tried, tested and successful in many countries around the world. We have adapted this acclaimed model to meet the special needs and expectations of older Australians. As a result, our group homes are safe, comfortable and enjoyable to live in.With a high carer-to-resident ratio (averaging 1:3), being under-pinned by best practice clinical care, our specialised approach focuses on getting residents involved in day-to-day life activities that bring them purpose and meaning, including:- Cooking and baking- Exercise and yoga- Helping to hang the laundry- Gardening activities- Shopping outings if desired- Walks around the neighbourhood- Public outings to cafes, art galleries, visit other housesGroup Homes Australia currently has 11 homes in Sydney, in the North Shore, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches and Sutherland Shire.
