St Andrews Aged Care, founded by the Community of Cypriots of the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne, is dedicated to providing cultural and homestyle quality care centered around Greek culture and tradition. The Grace of Mary and St. Andrew’s Hostels stand as the pride of the community, offering a nurturing atmosphere of relaxed social interaction and stimulating communication. Surrounded by olive, orange, and lemon trees, the homes create a welcoming environment that fosters a sense of being at home.
With a holistic approach to care, St Andrews Aged Care integrates all aspects of its services around the individual and their heritage, recognizing the therapeutic implications on both mind and body. The staff and volunteers prioritize person-centered care, celebrating life, culture, and individuality. The senior management team, along with the Governing Committee and Principal Nurse Advisor Dr. Devi Ranasinghe, ensure the safety and well-being of residents through robust Aged Care Quality management systems.
St Andrews Aged Care is committed to enhancing residents’ quality of life through meaningful activities and positive experiences. The focus on cultural differences and individual needs underscores the ethos of the home, where laughter, conversation, and mutual respect are encouraged. Regular updates and communication methods, including daily care consultations, SMS, email, and newsletters, keep stakeholders informed and engaged in the care and well-being of their loved ones.
