Here at Seasons, we are challenging this perception and have designed our communities to deliver more than just aged care. We believe your care years should be spent in a welcoming en-vironment, where independence, lifestyle and care live comfort-ably under the same roof. A place that feels like home. Here, you can bring your memories and treasured items with you and start the new season of your life in your new home.

But don’t just take our word for it. Our residents each have their own reasons that they call Seasons home. Whether it’s the reassurance that care is close at hand or that their choices and independence are respected – our residents all have their own story about what attracted them to Seasons and what they en-joy most about our communities.

Home is not a place …

it’s a feeling When it comes to the time in your life when you need more care, you’re faced with a range of difficult decisions. The biggest one being whether to leave your cherished family home. It can be a time of fear, uncertainty and sadness. With many of your best memories tied to your home, it can be hard to say goodbye. Even when you know that staying is no longer the best option. It’s where you feel safe and comfortable. It’s what you know and love. These feelings are often coupled with the belief that aged care is a last resort, something to be feared and avoided at all costs.

Personalised care that comes to youCare within Seasons communities is delivered by our care partners Envigor who will provide you with the very best in care services from the day you arrive to the day you leave.

We believe care services should be as individual as you. At the heart of this care is your personalised care plan, that respects your privacy and independence while providing the care you need, when you need it.

This means that once you move into a Seasons community, you won’t need to move if you don’t want to, even if your care needs change. You can progress from low care, to high care, to end of life care, without moving out of your own home.

We also take a revolutionary approach to working with people with dementia and other cognitive impairments. Rather than ‘locked wards’, we encourage and support people living with dementia to participate in community life to the best of their abilities.

Every Seasons community operates a 24-hour emergency response system that links directly to on-site Envigor care staff 24 hours a day.

“It’s an easy-going place to live in. I was living

on my own in Melbourne and it wasn’t a very

good idea. Here, I’m on a care package and

I don’t do anything! They do my dishes, make

my bed and put the washing on. Meals are

provided too.”

“I made my own decision to come here”While many seniors are reluctant to leave their own home to move into care, when Ellen Fox started to find things harder at home she decided it was time to make a change.

Despite being in good health, Ellen felt that she would be happier living somewhere where she had access to more support if and when she needed it.

“I made my own decision to come here. I couldn’t handle the upkeep at home anymore.”

“I told my son and his wife and asked them to start having a look around for me, and that’s how I found Seasons Aged Care.”

Ellen is now 87 and has been living at Seasons Kallangur for 3 ½ years and while her decision initially surprised her family, they can now see how being a part of the Seasons community has allowed Ellen to maintain her independence and lifestyle.

“I’m still quite active and don’t need any care as yet. I have a lot of friends. I can get help when I need it and I can help others as well. I still have my independence and my little car.”

“My son tells everyone that Mum thinks she’s in heaven.”

Live a life you love Outside the doors of your home, Seasons communities offer a range of facilities and lifestyle activities for you to enjoy. Living at Seasons has a lot in common with taking a cruise holiday. While your own home is the place for you to relax and unwind, there is a whole new world outside your four walls. With all meals provided and a daily program of events for you to choose from, there is always something happening around each community and friends to spend time with. If you prefer your own company, that’s okay too. All activities are optional. As with everything at Seasons, it’s your choice. All Seasons communities are privately gated with parking available, conveniently located close to shops, medical facilities, clubs, cafes, and public transport.

“It’s the friendships I’m forming and

meeting new people. Being able to

enjoy their company at our lunches

and happy hour. I think coming here

to Seasons is the best decision I’ve

ever made. I’m really happy!”

Nell

Your home, your lifestyle,

your careWhile you do need to pack your belongings to downsize, when you move to Seasons you don’t need to pack up your lifestyle and independence with it. Each of our aged care communities offer self-contained assisted living apartments with plenty of space for your cherished memories, furniture and creature comforts.

You’ve spent your life living independently and we believe your care years should be spent the same way. We give you all the care you’d expect in a residential nursing home combined with the lifestyle benefits of a retirement village, while you enjoy the comfort and independence of your own private residence. Every apartment is wheelchair accessible and features a self-contained kitchen or kitchenette and laundry, complete with whitegoods, so you are surrounded by all the conveniences of home.

“Best move I ever made. This is home

sweet home. I love the freedom and

everyone is very friendly.

I don’t intend on moving!”

Bring your best friend Whether your best friend is your life partner or your fur baby, you can move to Seasons together.

Regardless of your different care needs, you and your loved one can stay together and receive the care you each need. When one member of the couple needs higher level care, this support will help make day to day life easier and allow you to enjoy time together as a couple. Our role is to help you live exactly how you want and keep doing the things you love for as long as you can.

Pets are more than welcome at Seasons and they are a well-loved addition to our communities. Your family is our family and the grandkids and other relatives can stay over whenever you like.

“I didn’t want to leave my own home. But

now I call Seasons home because I could

bring Jackie. I don’t have to do anything. I

have never felt so free. I can crochet, walk

Jackie and I love Bingo.” Faye and her dog Jackie
