Abbeyfield Mortlake provides Private or Funded permanent and respite care at the Mortlake Residential Facility.
To be eligible for funded services you will require a mandatory assessment which is carried out by the aged care assessment team/service.
This assessment is conducted to establish if you will be High or Low care.
If you need assistance or more information on this assessment please contact the friendly team at Abbeyfield Mortlake.
A special feature at Abbeyfield Mortlake is that each resident has their own personal ensuite off their bedroom. We encourage residents to make these bedrooms their own.
At Abbeyfield we offer permanent care to people who are no longer able to live unsupported on their own.
We offer a range of services to suit High and Low level care and as your needs change we will continue to support you by adapting the care we provide.
This helps minimise disruption and provides peace of mind for you and your family.
Also, when you become a resident at Abbeyfield Mortlake you will have access to our in-house dietician, physiotherapist, speech therapist, diabetic educator and hearing specialist as well as daily activities and regular bus trips.
At Abbeyfield Mortlake, we have a small 8 bed dementia specific unit which we call the “The Mews”.
Within this secure unit each resident has their own bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. We encourage families to make these bedrooms their own by furnishing the rooms with as many familiar items as possible from home.
Within the Mews we use a program called Montessori for dementia. This is a frame work for realising the vision of independence, high self-esteem and a promising future for people living with dementia.
We do this by encouraging the residents to treat the area like their own home. So when you enter you will often see the ladies busily sweeping the floor, dusting, folding napkins and the men sorting screws, nuts and bolts. These small jobs help promote a sense of self worth and make the resident feel at home in the environment just like they did in their own homes.
We are also lucky to have double doors that we open up into a lovely secure garden area for the nice days. There is a path for walking and a veggie garden for the residents to grow their own food which are then turned into delicious meals.
