A place to call home – HillView Care

In our blog articles, we often talk about the high-quality residential aged care we provide, the experienced team we’re so proud of, and the wide range of services we offer at HillView Care. But there’s something else that sets us apart, something that’s much harder to measure but so important: the way it feels like home.

Creating a place where residents feel comfortable, connected, and cared for is at the heart of everything we do. So, what’s the secret? Let’s chat about what makes HillView Care more than just a Gold Coast aged care facility and why so many people love to call it home.

What makes HillView Care feel like home?

When it’s time for your loved one to move into aged care, finding a place that feels like home to them is important. With years of experience in the aged care industry, we understand that creating a sense of belonging, comfort and community is just as important as providing high-quality care. 

We go above and beyond to ensure every resident feels right at home. Here’s what sets HillView Care apart and why so many families trust us to provide a home for their loved ones. 

A warm and welcoming atmosphere

From the moment you step through the doors of our Merrimac and Ashmore aged care homes, you’ll notice the warmth of HillView Care. It’s in the friendly smiles of our staff, the inviting spaces filled with natural light, and the community feel of our facilities. 

Our spaces are thoughtfully designed, beautifully furnished, and surrounded by stunning gardens to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Personalised spaces

One of the first things we encourage new residents to do is personalise their space. Bring their favourite armchair, family photos, or treasured mementos – whatever makes your room feel like your own. Your room isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s your sanctuary. By surrounding them with things that bring them comfort and joy, they can truly settle in and make HillView Care their home.

A strong sense of community

Loneliness is a big challenge for older adults, which is why building a strong community is so important. At HillView Care, we offer opportunities for residents to connect, whether it’s over a cup of tea, during a group activity or event, or while walking through the beautiful gardens. 

Every month our lifestyle team organises a range of social events, outings, and activities to cater to the different interests of our residents. From art and craft classes to trivia, there’s always something happening to keep residents engaged. These shared experiences help residents form friendships and build bonds that make HillView feel like more than just a place to live – it’s a community.

Delicious, home-cooked meals

To ensure our residents feel at home, our chefs prepare nutritious home-cooked meals that cater to a range of tastes and dietary needs. This wholesome style of cooking is a great way to nourish the body and soul. 

Compassionate, person-centred care

At HillView Care, we understand that every resident has unique needs. That’s why we take a person-centred approach to care, tailoring our support to meet individual needs, preferences, and routines. 

Our dedicated team takes the time to get to know each resident, their likes, dislikes, hobbies, and life story. This personalised approach allows us to provide care that feels natural and respectful, preserving independence and dignity at every stage.

Beautiful surroundings

A home is not only about the inside, but the environment you live in – and HillView Care’s picturesque locations make it easy to feel relaxed. Surrounded by lush gardens and stunning views, our care homes offer plenty of spaces to relax, whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment on your own or catching up with loved ones.

Family involvement

Family is a vital part of life at HillView Care. We encourage families to stay involved and visit as often as they like. Whether it’s joining us for a meal, participating in an event, or simply popping in for a chat, family members are always welcome.

Making the transition easier

We know that moving into aged care can be a big change, and we’re here to make the transition as smooth as possible. Our team is experienced in helping new residents settle in and feel comfortable, offering support and reassurance every step of the way.

We take the time to answer questions, address concerns, and ensure that both residents and their families feel confident in their choice.

At HillView Care, we’ve created a home where residents can live with comfort, dignity, and joy. With our warm atmosphere, personalised care, and vibrant community, HillView Care is a place where you can feel truly at ease.
