Melrose Lodge - Assisted living & Dementia Specific

Melrose Lodge - Assisted Living (Hostel)
This is an alternate choice of accommodation for people who need minimal assistance but do not require full-time nursing support. Melrose Lodge provides the benefit of companionship and the security of knowing someone is always available to help. The emphasis at Melrose Lodge is to provide a home-like environment, with people who really care for your needs.

Resident rooms are spacious single rooms with lots of natural light and all have an ensuite bathroom. All rooms have emergency call buttons provided in bedrooms and bathrooms ensuring that assistance is on hand 24 hours a day. Residents are encouraged to bring momentos from home and display them in their room to assist in settling in.

All meals are prepared on a daily basis and onsite. In consultation with our nutritionist our team prepares well-balanced, healthy and appetising meals. Special dietary needs are easily accommodated.

The activity program is carefully designed to meet the recreational, spiritual and cultural needs of each resident. It is up to the resident if they wish to participate.

Respite Care provides short-term care providing a much needed break for carers, either on a planned or emergency basis. You may have up to 63 days respite in a financial year. One unit is reserved for respite care.

Melrose Lodge - Dementia Specific
For those requiring extra care, Melrose offers a dementia wing with care for up to 13 permanent residents and 1 respite resident. The dementia wing provides a stimulating yet secure environment for those residents requiring such specialised care. The care staff are specially trained to ensure that resident safety is maximised without compromising their enjoyment of life and are on duty 24 hours a day.

Resident rooms are spacious single rooms with lots of natural light and all have an ensuite bathroom. All rooms have emergency call buttons provided in bedrooms and bathrooms ensuring that assistance is on hand 24 hours a day.

The Dementia Wing has a central dining area and lounge area. There is also an enclosed outdoor area where residents can sit and enjoy the gardens and our bird aviary.

The dementia wing offers a safe environment and peace of mind, as both the facility and the surrounding grounds are fully secured with keypad entry and exit.

Our dementia care gives residents the best quality life in a safe and supportive environment.
