For older adults who are finding the general running of their home along with the cooking and shopping, cooking onerous chores, a residential home may be just the answer. The home also provides the opportunity for companionship, and an opportunity to make new friends.

Residential Living in a Mowana home includes a private room (residents are encouraged to customise them to make them their own), meals, laundry and cleaning services. Each home has communal lounges, dining rooms and outdoor areas where residents can socialise with one another, and their families and friends.

Residents benefit from living in a secure environment and easily accessible health and carer services, resulting in significant peace of mind for both the older adults and their families. 

Should permanent frail care be needed then the residential clients have priority access to the spectrum of Mowana's care services.

Residential Living is available at Greendale House (Howick), Sunnyside Park Home (PMB) and Villa Assumpta (Howick).

For older adults who require help with some of the routines of daily living as well as assistance with access to medical care on an ongoing basis, we offer Assisted Living. As frail care is a step too far, a carer comes alongside the older adult to assist them regularly. The number of hours or frequency of visits will vary as they are based on the specific needs of the older adult.  

This intervention can impact the quality of life of the individual to such an extent that they can return to a more active lifestyle and reduce the risk of a deterioration that could result in the need for frail care.

Respite care may be required after an illness, or an injury, and is usually associated with a fixed, short-term period of assistance to expedite recovery.  

Booking accommodation at one of our facilities will ensure that the older adult gets the care and medical attention needed and will allow time for the individual to heal and regain their strength whilst relaxing and enjoying the community and activities. (They may enjoy the lifestyle so much, that they may decide to stay with us!)

Assisted Living is available at Greendale House (Howick), Villa Assumpta (PMB), and Woodgrove Retirement Village (PMB) Respite at Sunnyside Park Home.

When older adults need more than is offered in Assisted Living we recommend a move to one of our Care Centres where we offer a full range of support (physical, psychological and social). Here, residents are invited to make the space their home, personalise the room and add creature comforts. The gardens and lounges are great spaces in which to enjoy nature and community. We encourage residents to pursue interests, have family and friends to visit and go on outings. We tailor programmes and activities according to each person's interests to help promote their independence and support their physical and cognitive abilities while enjoying their passions and hobbies.

With a nursing team around the clock, 24/7 in-room camera monitoring and on-site security, you can relax knowing that you have access to the kind or level of support needed. Our catering team ensures all meals are tasty but nutritionally balanced.

We see residents thrive as they become part of the community. They feel connected and, with the assistance of both staff and other residents, they join in. In many instances, we see them become increasingly independent. It's a new beginning.

Wherever possible, we encourage the resident, with our support, to improve their mobility as this can reduce the need for some medications and painkillers. The increased mobility also reduces the prevalence of bedsores.

Memory care is specialised care for people living with the challenges of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

Family members can relax, reassured that their loved one is in good hands. Our depth of knowledge, experience, and understanding ensures we of fer seamless care to this vulnerable and valuable community.

Fully Supported Care is available at Greendale House (Howick), Sunnyside Park Home (PMB), and Woodgrove Retirement Village (PMB).
