Low Care - Dementia Specific (secure facility)

Ursula Wing is a secure Dementia Specific facility for 16 residents with special needs. This attractive and comfortable wing creates an atmosphere of tranquillity, which is ideal for these special residents. There is a multi-disciplinary team with highly developed skills in dementia care to provide for all the ongoing needs of residents

Therapies

A specialised therapy team is actively involved in providing intensive therapeutic care. The Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist and their assistants are energetic and innovative in their programming. This is demonstrated by the wide variety of treatments used, including a spa and the activities, functions and outings that are available. Residents in our Low Care secure unit have an individual assessment by both the Physio and the OT. Whether the care is for rehabilitation or maintenance of independence, the therapies are an integral part of the daily life in residential care.

Application for Accommodation

An Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) assessment is required for entry to Low Level dementia specific care in a secure facility. This can be arranged through your local doctor. An application form will need to be completed and submitted with the ACAT assessment.
