Many of our care and lifestyle activities are led by staff members with a Middle Eastern background, so residents can engage in their preferred language and cultural style. We also engage Arabic-speaking allied health professionals, including dietitians, speech pathologists, audiologists and podiatrists.
We ensure that care is delivered in a culturally appropriate and personalised way. Our menus include authentic Middle Eastern dishes, freshly prepared to suit residents' tastes and their individual dietary needs.
Our philosophy of care
We strive to create a warm, familiar atmosphere where language, food, customs and care are thoughtfully tailored to each individual's cultural identity, for comfort, dignity and a true sense of belonging every day.
