4 ways to communicate with your loved ones at HillView

If your loved one has made the transition into aged care living at HillView Care Merrimac or Ashmore, you might be wondering about the best ways to stay connected and maintain connected with them. There are various ways to communicate with your loved one at HillView Care, here’s the most popular: 

Regular in-person visits

One of the best ways to stay connected and communicate with your loved ones is through regular visits to HillView Care. Both our Merrimac and Ashmore aged care homes have extremely welcoming environments, designed with communal and private areas that make it easy to enjoy quality time together. 

You can take advantage of our beautiful gardens for a leisurely stroll or enjoy a coffee and cake at the on-site Merrimac café. Whether you choose a more private catch-up or a family gathering in one of our communal areas, your visit will be a memorable one. 

Virtual communication

In-person visits aren’t always possible, so technology provides a great way to connect from afar. Video calls to see your loved ones’ faces and share experiences are a fantastic way to maintain a sense of closeness and ensure that your loved ones feel supported and involved in family life. 

HillView Care staff can help residents with setting up and using devices for virtual communication, ensuring that you can stay connected no matter where you are. 

Phone calls and messages

A simple phone call or text message can make a huge difference and let your loved one know you are thinking of them. Regular phone calls and texts can keep you updated on your loved one’s daily activities and allow you to share news from home. Letters, cards and photos can also brighten up their day. 

Community activities

Check our monthly calendar and participate in these activities with your loved one.
