Cardinia Community Aged Care in Officer hosted an Open Day on Saturday 5 November for the local community and for families considering aged care for a loved-one.
The event was held in glorious sunshine and showcased the many luxury amenities the home has to offer.
“It was such a successful event,” reported Martin Jones, General Manager Client Services for Signature Care, “there were hundreds of people that toured through the home”.
He said many people reserved rooms for admission.
The home opened to residents on Monday 14 November.
“The Open Day provided the opportunity for families to ask questions, collect relevant information and to have a first-hand experience of what the future of Aged Care is like.”
Attendees were in awe of the beautiful design, the spacious lounge and communal areas as well as the many outdoor areas for relaxation or exercise. Resident rooms were also a feature, highlighting those extra touches that ensure the personal comfort of every resident.
The day also featured many activities for families and children to enjoy.
There was a kids’ activity area, face painting, sausage sizzle and ice cream from the on-site café.
For the parents, there was a coffee cart supplied by local café Bean On Track and entertainment in the form of a young duet singing and playing for the crowds. Families were given an information show bag to take home with information on a range of areas relevant to aged care.
The experienced team at Cardinia Community Aged Care are well-versed in the care and attention that is required in aged care, with many having worked across the sector for several years.
The team is standing by to provide information and assistance to anyone considering aged care or looking to relocate a loved-one in the near future.
