Care and Support

When you arrive at a Regis aged care facility, your needs are assessed and a personalised care plan will be created to meet your individual requirements.
      
All Regis aged care facilities provide a range of care and services including access to therapy, assistance with medications and personal care, meals, bathroom needs, laundry service and recreational activities.

Types of aged care

Regis offers:

  • Ageing-in-place allows you to remain in the same facility and, in most cases, the same room – as your care needs increase. Your individualised care plan is regularly updated to reflect your unique requirements.
  • Dementia Care provides targeted services, specialised staff and facilities to support residents with early to advanced stages of dementia.
  • Palliative Care offers sensitive support to residents nearing the end of their life. Our specialist staff provide comfort and quality of life for residents, family and friends.
  • Respite care provides short-term care and support for people whose carers are unable to meet usual care arrangements or who need an extra level of temporary support.
  • Transitional Care provides extra support and extra recovery time for older people moving from acute hospital care. The program covers low intensity therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy or podiatry), access to a social worker and nursing support.
    Transitional Care is available at Regis Frankston and Regis Tasmania – Norwood.
  • Our Wellness Program offers a range of allied health services provided by qualified health professionals. The free program is part of your daily plan and helps prevent, treat and promote your overall health and independence.

Life at Regis

Dining

Food is central to life at Regis.

All our homes have a cook or chef on-site. They prepare well-balanced, fresh and tasty home-style food for each meal and a variety of baked treats every day.

Variety is important and our menus are changed every four weeks. All meals are approved by qualified dietitians to maximise nutritional balance.

Dining at Regis is a social event. Our rooms are set up for social interaction and a place for families and friends to join loved ones for a meal.

In line with best dietary practices and resident preferences, the main meal of the day is lunch, with dinner being a slightly lighter option. You are also welcome to choose a salad or sandwich if that is your preference on any given day.

Special dietary requirements and needs such as smooth puree, gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian are also well taken care of with carefully designed specific menus.

Mosaic

Mosaic is an award winning, innovative visual identification system enhancing our ability to provide the right care for residents.

Unique to Regis, Mosaic allows our staff to understand, at a glance, the care requirements of individuals, while respecting the privacy of that individual. Each Mosaic is personalised to an individual and complements resident care plans.

Since launching, the Mosaic system has helped enhance the more social aspects of care, helping initiate conversations and encouraging conversations between residents.
