How does your normal day look? Waking up, sitting at the dining table in your pyjamas reading the paper? Maybe waking up and enjoying a cup of tea in bed reading a book? A beach walk before breakfast? It’s all up to you really. Movies, gardening, cafes and walks. Boredom is not an option. We also want to support you to remain connected in your local community; to attend CWA meetings, church groups, Tai Chi classes, local galleries and libraries, whilst we continue to promote and develop dementia friendly communities. Honey Bee Homes are your aged care services Northern NSW.
If the thought of your mother, father or friend living with sixty other people fills you with dread, give us a call. We do things differently.
Wound management, behaviour management, palliative care, low and high level care, dementia care, medication management, lifestyle choices, nutrition.
Thus consideration to your cultural background, personal history, social, and family network. Moreover, we offer flexibility in daily routines, allowing you to live your life your way. Additionally, residents have the opportunity to participate in domestic activities, such as meal preparation, collecting eggs from the chickens, and shopping. Furthermore, residents have access to the outside areas to enjoy activities like gardening and supervised bush walks.
At Honey Bee, we strongly believe that quality of life is vital; therefore, we make every effort to get to know our residents so we can offer individualised care.
We do not define our residents by their disease but rather offer a nurturing environment where they are able to feel safe and secure. Honey Bee Homes (Aged Care Services Northern NSW) looks, feels, and smells like a real home. We understand the needs of people living with dementia and the fluctuating trajectory of the disease. Our staff are flexible and well-trained in all aspects of care.
We work closely with residents and family members, medical and allied health professionals to help design and deliver a support service that is based on the needs of you or your family member. All our staff are qualified in dementia care delivery, with vast knowledge, experience and wisdom in the area. Daily care is reviewed and supported by a Registered Nurse.
Each person’s care needs are different, and we understand that these can also change. As care needs become more complex, we can offer 1:1 carer options.
Seeing this phase of palliative care as one in which increased services and support are essential to ensure quality, coordinated care from the care team, is being delivered. We feel it is important to provide care that helps residents live their life as fully and as comfortably as possible. Understanding the importance of family inclusion when living with a life-limiting or terminal illness, particularly at end of life is paramount.
Here at Honey Bee Homes, we want to ensure the delivery of care you deserve. The current residential aged care model is reliant on funding and therefore struggles to offer quality staff to resident ratios. Ensuring there is dignity in care delivery.
Nutritional food is medicine; therefore, we will prepare as much local and seasonal produce as possible, involving residents in the collaborative menu designs.
Moreover, the menus are designed to support those living with dementia, poor immune systems, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
Furthermore, all diets and preferences are catered to, including continental and traditional meal options.
Additionally, we have a barista-quality coffee machine and a well-stocked drinks trolley.
We wanted it to be somewhere they would be happy to invite their family and friends to visit, to share a meal and spend quality time together as they would in their own homes.
We want to change the face of aged care, move away from traditional residential aged care with its dementia specific units, dementia wings, and poor staff ratios.
Our innovative approach has the added benefit of being a wonderful work environment where our passionate staff love working.
However, we hope to make the process easier and less stressful for everyone.
Moreover, we also offer accommodation for couples to live together. For many people who have been in a long-term relationship, the presence of their partner provides comfort, and the absence of that partner can cause great distress. Furthermore, moving homes is stressful enough; therefore, let’s take one less stress out of the event.
It’s a boutique home for elders who require assistance in day to day living, and because of the small number of residents, means that all care and living conditions are completely individualised.
Means testing is not compulsory, unlike a nursing home.
Room rates start from $600 per night include:
It’s a holiday stay with a difference, we can offer as much care as you need, while you rest and recuperate, or just enjoy what this beautiful region has to offer.
These social creatures are admired for their seamless teamwork. Honey bees complete many jobs over their lifetime, such as nursemaid, caretaker, and cleaner. Additionally, if a task needs to be completed, any available bee will jump on it, contributing to an efficient and harmonious society.
Moreover, honey bees provide a model for a caring, compassionate community that thrives on attentiveness, communication, and hard work. When we work together, we can also create a dynamic and peaceful community.
