What is residential care?

Residential care is for older people who can no longer live at home for a wide range of reasons. Some people require low levels of care, whilst others may require higher levels of continuous nursing care.

At Eventide Homes we have the capacity to care for 80 residents in our residential care facility. Our entry level to accommodation is for those who have been assessed as requiring a low level of care, and we provide ongoing care ‘Ageing in Place’ for as long as care needs are able to be met.

Each resident has a private single bedroom and en-suite, and we also have two interconnecting rooms for couples. Special services are available for people suffering from dementia in our secure 18-bed ‘Special Needs’ wing, as well as a respite care service for eligible residents of Eventide Homes and the broader Stawell community.

Residents are treated with dignity at all times and we are very supportive of individual customs and beliefs. We take great care that our new residents and their families are completely comfortable throughout the familiarisation process to help make this major life change more adaptable.

To be eligible for residential care accommodation, all potential residents must first undergo an assessment by Aged Care Assessment Services (ACAS). For more information about eligibility, contact the Aged Care Information Line on 1800 500 853 or contact your health care provider.
