Nursing Home Services

We realise the importance of communication with families and residents. While our focus is always on the care and needs of our residents, we also understand what you and your family are going through.
​
The benefits of our medical centre looking after your loved ones include:

• A unique GP and RACF nurse partnership that effectively guarantees the selected pair attending to your family member at the RACF become their ‘personal’ doctor and nurse.
• We take lead of the patient doctor relationship directly by initiating clear and honest communication with the family members the &  the aged care facility team.
• The ability to interact with your family member’s health team quickly and efficiently; frequent communication also ensures continuity and increasing familiarity with the patient, ultimately promising a closer link between the patient, family and their doctor nurse team.
• A distinctive collaborative health care approach by a GP nurse team that is second to none. Two registered practitioners looking after your family member together, consistently safeguards against disjointed care separately by a different doctor and nurse visiting at separate times.
• Having a GP nurse team who are regularly on-hand and can build a rapport with residents is one of the keys to good health.
• Making sure the your loved one at the facility has a positive and great experience with their medical team because they know that a GP and nurse are going to be there every week and they know that if they are sick or need to be seen to, that they will have peace of mind.
