Preparing to move
What can I bring with me?
Ocean Mist Aged Care have state of the art, comfortable and homely accommodation. We focus on making our home as warm and welcoming as we can to make it as comforting as your own home. Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms with personal and meaningful items to create a familiar surrounding.
Assistance moving in
Your family, friends and carers are welcome to help you move in. When the time comes, we will be there to support your move. We will introduce you to key staff members at your chosen home. Please let them know if there is anything you need to help you settle in. Your family, friend or a carer is welcome to stay with you for a bit while you settle in.
After you’ve moved in
After you move in to your new home, there will be new routines and surroundings to get used to. We will be there every step of the way.
Developing your care plan
After you move in, our team will sit down with you and your family to discuss your care needs and develop your care plan according to your own individual needs. If you already have a care plan that has been developed by an allied health professional or your doctor, you can bring that with you.
Planning for the future
You may have health preferences, particularly during serious illness. It is important that those who might need to know, including the care team in our homes know about them in advance
Activities
We have a range of regular activities, social events and outings (when permitted) in our homes. You are welcome to be involved as much or as little as you like. Let us know if there is something that you particularly like and we will include this in our planning.
Meals
Our meals are planned by our in house chef in conjunction with a dietician. All meals are freshly cooked on site daily catering to the dietary requirements of all persons. Individuals have the option of selecting between two different meal options at lunch and dinner.
Here to help.
We are here to make the transition as simple, care-free and welcoming as possible for you and your loved ones.
Placing a loved one into aged care is one of the most emotionally challenging decisions most families will have to face. That’s why we’re always here to help – either in person at Ocean Mist Aged Care or over the phone on 5261 6709.
