19.01.2022 Through the Windows at Point Cook Manor. It’s been a frustrating few months for our Residents and Families at Point Cook Manor. Covid19 precautions have made regular family catch ups difficult, and as the Western suburbs have been heavily impacted during this second wave, even more so. Our Families have been exceptionally understanding during this difficult time, that the safety of our Residents must be everyone’s top priority and they have enthusiastically adapted normal vis...iting routines to embrace new technologies such as Zoom, What’s App and Facetime, as well as enjoying touching window visits. We have also experienced a wonderful revival of letter writing amongst our Residents and Families, with handwritten notes, drawings and photos, emails and care packages being dropped off daily for our dedicated Lifestyle team to share with loved ones. If you would like to chat with our fantastic Lifestyle team about ways to keep in touch with your loved one during this temporary period of isolation, please call 9394 2500 seven days a week to speak with one of our team members or email [email protected] any time to request more information. Stay Safe & Take Care

10.01.2022 Homestyle Aged Care is excited to announce we are rolling out new interactive technology across all our homes to provide a fully immersive and engaging experience for our residents living with dementia. ’The Virtual Forest’ program is a peaceful and enjoyable experience, transporting users to an explorative, engaging and empowering environment of an expansive park-like setting on a screen, where seasons can be changed with a wave or the clap of hands with a motion sensor! The experience is designed to give back some control to people living with dementia. This can be used as a personal experience or shared with carers and residents alike. As well as being a stimulating experience, it also encourages users to communicate with others.

03.01.2022 Our Residents and Lifestyle Co-ordinators worked together on a very special project recently. A 'Tree of Life' Painting was derived from our residents fingerprints. The art piece was a Lifestyle Project undertaken involving each resident during isolation.... Not all residents could place their actual fingerprint on the painting due to existing hand problems, but were included by choosing their fingerprint colour and watching the print being made. The 'Tree of Life' Painting has been placed in our 'Sunshine Room' for all to see and enjoy.
