Avondrust Lodge, part of MiCare, is a leading provider of culturally and linguistically diverse aged care services in Australia. With a strong focus on creating a home-like environment where the Elder is at the center of all offerings, Avondrust Lodge is committed to the Eden Alternative™ philosophy. This approach fosters a vibrant community where children, pets, and plants are integrated into daily life, promoting holistic well-being for residents. MiCare’s range of services includes Residential Aged Care, Retirement Living, Home Care, Migrant Services, Social Support Groups, Volunteers, and more, all delivered with professionalism, compassion, and respect for individual cultural backgrounds.
Established as DutchCare and later rebranded as MiCare, the organization has a rich history of providing ethno-specific care to elderly migrants, initially focusing on the Dutch community. Over the years, MiCare has expanded its services to cater to a diverse range of cultural groups, recognizing the importance of language, food, and traditions in delivering personalized care. Through strategic mergers with organizations like the New Hope Foundation and the Netherlands Retirement Village Association Queensland, MiCare has strengthened its commitment to supporting migrants in transitioning to a new life in Australia while honoring their unique backgrounds and needs.
With a dedication to celebrating diversity and promoting meaningful connections, MiCare continues to lead the way in aged care services by offering tailored support that respects the cultural, spiritual, and linguistic preferences of each individual. By upholding values of respect, celebration of differences, and community engagement, Avondrust Lodge and MiCare strive to make a positive impact on the lives of Elders, families, and clients, ensuring comfort, dignity, and a sense of belonging for all those in their care.
