Social Isolation in Aged Care Facilities 

Social isolation is a significant concern in aged care facilities, often impacting residents’ mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The transition from familiar surroundings to a new environment can heighten these effects, making it crucial for aged care homes to create spaces that nurture social engagement and a strong sense of belonging.

What Menarock LIFE

Residents and Family Say

My husband has been at Emmavale Gardens for months. He has a number of Dementia issues which the staff are managing with memory support. The staff are caring, remember my husband’s name, which is very important to him.The place is clean. Nurses are on duty at all times, visiting doctors, dentists, hairdressers and a laundry. They have in house catering with dining room meals.They have staff who involve the residents in games, especially mini golf, and there is much laughter. I highly commend the staff.

A fantastic home where we as family have faith & confidence in the staff looking after my husband. We can only praise & count our blessings.

My dearest mum was at Greenway Gardens in Heathmont until recently. I would sincerely like to thank Julia the Director of Nursing who has a true heart of gold, and her beautiful and gracious staff for looking after my mum with such tender loving care. Such a warm and cosy atmosphere with a lovely bush setting. I was in there every day with my mum and did get to know the staff well. I found it to be very reassuring knowing that mum was in good hands. Thank you all so very much 🌹
