Ageing in place at Arcare

When you join us, we put a Care Plan in place which helps meet your clinical, social and spiritual needs. When you or your Arcare carers believe your needs are increasing, we do a Care Plan review where we can discuss any additional needs. We can then provide additional care and nursing to meet those needs.

Some ways we can help you age in place include:

• We can arrange for allied health to assess for mobility aids such as wheelchairs or walkers.
• If your medical needs increase, we can discuss this with you and your GP to make the arrangements. Arcare residences, of course, don’t replace the need for hospital care.
• We have fall prevention strategies in place, including providing help in the bathroom and advice for keeping your private bedroom area free from clutter.
• We have Dedicated Assignments who are team members who work regular shifts with the same groups of residents so you have familiarity and continuity.

We have a specialist palliative care team and can offer a secure, private, and dignified environment where medical help is on standby for you. Find out more about our palliative care services.

Arcare is home to our residents and therefore we don’t have visiting hours. We encourage family and friends to visit whenever they can and to enjoy a meal with their loved one if they’re able.

However, if the site has an outbreak (eg. COVID) visiting hours are changed as required. Please contact your Arcare residence reception.
