There are several factors to take into consideration when choosing a residential aged care centre in the Illawarra, including:
The best way to make a good decision is to visit several aged care centres around Wollongong to compare them and get a feel for them. Ask the questions that are relevant to your needs, listen carefully to the responses and keenly observe what is happening around you.
You may also wish to consider respite care so that you can experience life at an aged care centre before making a more permanent move.
An aged care centre provides a welcoming home environment that goes beyond “nursing”. It will promote health and wellbeing, social interaction, mental stimulation and enjoyment, as well as providing a safe place to live.
William Beach at IRT Kanahooka residents are enjoying DanceWise: a seated dance program that offers a dance class for those who are limited in their movement. The innovative program focuses on therapeutic and movement classes that increase mobility, functional independent and psychosocial involvement for people living with age-related limitations.
