Quality care: St Vincent’s Care Services’ Southport facility will open a new dedicated dementia-care building in August. 

WITH almost one in 10 Australians living with dementia and the number expected to rise as our ageing population grows, St Vincent’s Care Services is working hard to ensure its services cater for this important and growing group.

The aged-care and retirement-living provider is due to welcome 40 additional residents to its Southport facility in August, with the opening of a new dedicated dementia-care building.

St Vincent’s Care Services chief executive officer John Leahy said the new two-storey building was just one in a suite of dementia-specific units being built at the organisation’s facilities in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. 

“It’s an unfortunate reality that dementia and other memory impairment conditions are on the increase in Australia, but we are committed to ensuring our services can cater to this growing need,” Mr Leahy said.

“Our dementia-care residences have been designed in collaboration with industry-leading experts, and provide a safe, home-like space, with 24-hour care tailored to each resident’s unique needs.

“We work with our residents and their families to tailor our services to their personal and clinical care requirements, as well as their personal interests and spiritual needs.”

The new dementia-care building at St Vincent’s Care Services Southport will integrate with the existing residential aged-care and independent-living facilities, offering a unique opportunity for couples with individual needs and abilities to live together at the one site. 

All residents can take advantage of premium on-site facilities, including the heated indoor swimming pool and spa, library and community room, and lush gardens.

Dementia housing
Dementia care: The state-of-the-art dementia-care residence at Southport will be ready to welcome residents from August this year.

They also enjoy the convenience of being located in the cosmopolitan hub of Southport, just minutes away from shopping and entertainment amenities.
