Domus Operosa at Burton is a magnificent new aged care facility designed to meet the needs of older people into the future.
The home is built around a lovely lake with a bridge where residents and families can stroll and enjoy the views of the adjacent wetlands with its numerous trees and birdlife. All of the eight accommodation wings have a lounge dining area which overlooks the lake and gardens, with an additional quite lounge opposite each entry.
Each wing consists of ten single ensuite motel style rooms each having a door opening onto private and secure courtyard. The courtyards all contain raised gardens where residents can choose to plant vegetables, trees and flowers of their choice and care for them.
The home has 80 places consisting of both high and low care, 20 of these places being designated for residents suffering from dementia. Two of the wings have been allocated for this specialised care.
Care services at the home consist of nursing care, assistance with all activities of daily living, medication management, wound care, continence care, and allied health services such as physiotherapy, podiatry, occupational and speech therapy. All residents are assessed for their individual needs when entering the home and a special nursing and social plan is designed with the resident/family to ensure all the resident's care and lifestyle choices are met.
