Residents call AdventCare Yarra Ranges home.
ADVENTCARE Yarra Ranges is a private care facility that residents call “home”.
Located in picturesque Warburton, it provides holistic, resident focused aged care services.
It is a low care facility located on the banks of the Yarra River overlooking the Yarra Ranges.
Built in the 1970s, it is owned and operated by the Seventh Day Adventist Church and operates in keeping with the principles and values of the church.
What makes the facility more special is the caring staff and the home like environment.
Diversional therapist Wendy Toohey said AdventCare Yarra Ranges was a community within a community.
“The staff to resident ratio is not ruled by government, it is based on the care needs of the residents,” she said.
“The facility is personal and private and so is the residents’ lifestyle.”
Residents say they find no difficulty in adjusting because the staff who show they love their work.
A favourite pastime is sitting outside with the beautiful scenery and when the weather is cold, the floor heater keeps everyone’s toes warm.
Residents have total freedom to come and go as they please.
They can wander around the carefully maintained gardens, or plant vegetables, enjoy a stroll along the river bank and maybe even catch a fresh fish.
They can feel the difference clean, fresh mountain air and pure water can make.
And if they feel like dining out for a change then shops, cafes and entertainment facilities are only a five minute walk away.
Residents have the choice of many activities which are organised on a weekly basis.
There is always something happening, whether it is shopping trips, excursions to places of interest or clubs.
Other resident-focused activities include a facility bus that takes residents out on regular trips and individualised care planning.
Meals and laundry are done on site, therefore a resident really gets the home-like treatment at AdventCare Yarra Ranges.
AdventCare Yarra Ranges at Warburton is an exceptional standard of care facility and invites visitors to inspect the friendly and relaxed atmosphere enjoyed by its residents.
