Understanding holistic aged care

Here at HillView Care we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, premium residential aged care on the Gold Coast that goes far beyond the traditional focus on just physical health. Our commitment to holistic aged care means we believe the needs of our residents are multifaceted. We work to enhance individuals’ physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being in all we do by tailoring our care to resident’s specific needs. 

Our aged care team understands that ageing is a unique and personal journey for each resident. Our holistic approach is not just a philosophy; it’s a way of life embedded in our daily practices. By tailoring our care to the specific needs of each resident, we create an environment where they feel seen, heard, and valued. 

From personalised fitness programs and cognitive activities to social events and spiritual support, our team is dedicated to fostering a sense of community and enhancing the overall quality of life for our residents.

We believe that embracing the diversity of needs and experiences is what sets HillView Care apart, making us a place where residents not only receive exceptional care but also thrive in an environment that promotes dignity, independence, and holistic well-being.

What are the key components of holistic aged care? 

Physical well-being: Our team ensures personalised care plans covering nutrition, exercise, and medical attention. Regular health assessments and tailored fitness programs contribute to maintaining our resident’s physical health.

Emotional and mental wellness: We offer a supportive environment with cognitive activities, art therapy to foster emotional resilience and mental wellness.

Spiritual fulfilment: Acknowledging the significance of spiritual well-being, we provide access to activities that nurture the soul.

Environmental considerations: We focus on maintaining a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment, including well-designed living spaces and outdoor areas that promote relaxation and connection with nature.
