Waking up to the gentle murmur of voices outside your door – it’s breakfast time, but there’s no need to rush. The caring staff at Mary Andrews know you like to ease into the day, and the extended breakfast hours make that possible.
Enjoying a quiet moment to yourself before heading out, you’re already looking forward to your favourite breakfast, scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and a cup of English Breakfast Tea. It used to be a weekend treat, but here, it’s yours to enjoy every day. ;
Community
Over breakfast, you catch up with friends, talking about the plans for the day. Today, you’re looking forward to the weekly bible study session - it’s a beautiful time to reflect, connect, and share thoughts with others.
After bible study, you head outside for a walk through the landscaped gardens and then join your friends and a beloved staff member for a game of cards, and giggles. The friendships you’ve built at Mary Andrews are special, connections that feel like family.
After lunch, the dining area is turned into an activity space, ready for bingo. You join your friends at a table and eagerly wait for your numbers to be called. Surprisingly, this game brings much joy to your week as it creates a lively atmosphere filled with laughter and connection.
Dining
When lunch and dinner comes around, the dining room has a vibrant energy. Mealtimes are an enjoyable experience that you look forward to, socialising with your friends and often with a glass of wine. You’re grateful for the variety of choice and freshly prepared options the hospitality team prepare each day. Next month you’ve decided to join the food focus group to work with the team on the next menu. You have always enjoyed cooking, so you’re pleased to be involved and contribute.
Home
As you retire to your room for the evening, you reflect on your day and your time at Mary Andrews so far. A big decision at the time to leave your family home, and everything that was familiar to you, but you’re pleased you did. You’re happy you made the move on your own terms, choosing a residential aged care home that feels right for you, a place where you can embrace the social atmosphere, enjoy activities, continue your favourite hobbies, and even explore new ones.
Yet perhaps what you value most are the friendships you’ve built since moving in. On quieter days, when you’re not up for much, it’s comforting to know that you’re surrounded by a supportive and friendly community.
You also appreciate the respectful balance of independence and care the staff provide, they’re always there when you need them.
This is now your home, a place where you feel safe, respected and loved.
