At Columbia, we encourage freedom of choice and independence for residents in all areas of daily life. We believe that a residential aged care home should be as much like a resident’s own home as possible. With that in mind, we respect the dignity of each and every resident.

Columbia Aged Care Services is leading the way in continuous improvement systems. We are proud to say that our Accreditation Standards surpass the government standards in many areas. One of the ways we can achieve this standard is through extensive ongoing consultation with residents, families and staff and all other stakeholders.

Our innovative monitoring systems ensure that all residents have programs tailored to their individual needs. Those with special needs are provided with specific care to ensure they are comfortable at all times. We encourage family participation and offer support to family and friends.

We offer an exercise program, which focuses on wellness rather than frailty and illness. The program offers residents the chance not only to improve fitness but socialise and enhance their general wellbeing.

A high degree of resident, staff and property safety is achieved through unobtrusive active and passive security measures. Fire safety is advanced with the use of a sprinkler system throughout the building.

Our highly trained staff continuously undergoes education programs to develop skills in current health practices.

Each of our centres meets the needs of their local community. Columbia is committed to recognising and respecting the cultural diversity of all of our residents. Our aim is to provide the best care possible, taking into consideration the culture and linguistic needs of our residents.
