Ageing in place relates to the provision of responsive and flexible care in line with each individual’s changing care needs in a familiar and appropriate environment. The Australian Aged Care Group provides ageing in place in all their facilities and aims to allow residents to age in place in his/her own room, with all necessary care and services brought to the resident. There may be some circumstances where residents will be encouraged to change rooms within the facility, if their level of care and cognitive status significantly changes and their individual care needs could be better addressed in a different setting.
AACG facilities provide all aspects of Residential care for people who require assistance with activities of daily living. This can include assistance with dressing, meals, cleaning and mobility, as well as medical needs.
The Australian Aged Care Group provides care to residents with cognitive impairment/Dementia. Banfields Aged Care provides dementia specific care in a luxurious, light filled 14 bed purpose built dementia specific wing with a secure outdoor area, including the use of smart technologies.
The Australian Aged Care Group provides palliative care in all our facilities. We involve palliative care support services such as Eastern Palliative Care as required, and recognize palliative care as a specialist area of health care practice.
Improving the experience of dying in residential aged care is the basis of our palliative care program.
