Goodwin Aged Care Service’s new residential aged care facility, George Sautelle House in Farrer, is now accepting new residents.
The newly rebuilt facility builds on Goodwin’s 65-year history of providing leading care and accommodation for Canberra’s seniors, enhancing developments in care innovations and lifestyle features.
George Sautelle House is built with intention. The dementia-friendly design facilitates a perfect balance of community and independence, while assisting the 24/7 on-site nursing and care staff to deliver Goodwin’s industry-leading care.
Residents can form new connections and interact in multiple communal spaces or relax in quiet nooks and beautiful gardens. George Sautelle House residents also experience a robust and varied schedule of leisure and lifestyle activities, an in-house café, wellness centre, and hairdresser.
Executive Manager Clinical and Health Services, Tamra MacLeod, says, “At the heart of this facility lies the philosophy and desire to nurture each resident’s independence and mobility, their mental, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing, as well as physical, so they can continue to enjoy life and stay engaged in their community”.
Resident Golden Retriever, Zoe, assists greatly in gently welcoming new residents and making everyone feel at home.
Goodwin is particularly proud of its dining quality, offering a menu created by internationally renowned chef, Sandeep Vaid, in collaboration with a nutritionist and the residents themselves.
Chef Vaid says, “We put great efforts in offering delicious, healthy, and nutritious meals for our residents. In conjunction with our in-house dietician and aged care experts, we design seasonal menus to provide a variety of freshly cooked meals. Residents are integral to menu development through the Food for Thought focus groups.”
With industry-leading clinical care practices including 24/7 on-site Registered Nurses, on-site Pharmacist, allied health specialists, and dementia and palliative care services, residents of George Sautelle House can expect exceptional and tailored care.
Ms Macleod says that at Goodwin, “We want our residents to feel welcomed and to see them live with dignity, happiness and purpose. Therefore, we offer them the chance to live the life they choose, eat the food they love, while receiving the care that they deserve.”
