The Kensington Park Aged Care Home Benefits
From the care we provide to the relationships we build.
For your peace of mind, we provide 24-hour care by registered nurses who are supported by a dedicated team of enrolled nurses and personal carers. We have the expertise to assist with complex care requirements, and will always discuss your care with you and your family.
In recognition of our exceptional standards of care and services, Kensington Park is fully accredited by the Australian Government. Our staff are committed to providing the highest quality care for older people with dementia, winning them Better Practice Award for an innovative project that improved behaviour management of residents with dementia.
Staying active and socialising is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Our activity program changes each month, but will always include bus trips and outings, arts and crafts, movie days and theme days. We have a number of volunteers supporting our home and have regular musical performances, fetes, raffles and visits from school groups
The tranquil gardens that surround the home provide a beautiful setting for outdoor barbecues, morning teas and concerts. There are always bus trips and special events to look forward to, and we welcome our residents’ families and loved ones to visit at any time.
Enjoying a variety of delicious, nutritionally balanced meals is an important part of maintaining good health. From our central kitchen, our executive chef, sous chef and dietician create menus that provide variety and maximum nutritional value without compromising on taste. We offer choices of hot and cold meals, cater for allergies, culturally-specific needs, and create a special menu for a theme day each month.
You can view some of our menu options by reading our What’s on the menu? flyer.
