Comfort, security, and convenience
As we age, living unsupported can present many challenges and compromise our quality of life. However, with the right support, independence can continue even when 24/7 care or more assistance is needed with day-to-day tasks.
Permanent Residents at our Aged Care Residences have access to daily activities, medication management, mobility assistance, fresh meals and housekeeping services. It can also be a natural next step when the level of required care becomes too much for a family member or a home care provider.
At TriCare Aged Care Residences, a Facility Manager and Clinical Manager oversee our qualified Carers and Registered Nurses who support seniors 24/7 including showering, meals, dressing, continence and pain management, exercising, and access to other health services.
