Waking up to the warmth of the morning sun. There’s no need to set an alarm clock – your day is yours to shape as you please. The staff at Woodberry know you love to start your mornings slow, with no rush or pressure, just the perfect balance of support and freedom to do things just the way you like them.
Today is ‘omelette day’ - everyone’s favourite! Made to order, you choose your favourite ingredients, bacon, tomato and shallots.
Community
After breakfast you join your friends in the café for a barista-made coffee. Whether you’re catching up with family or sharing a laugh with fellow residents, the cafe with its stunning views, is the heart of the home.
After your coffee, you join the tai chi class, the gentle exercises feel great and are a perfect way to start the day. In the afternoon, you join a lively bowling session. The sound of pins crashing is accompanied by plenty of laughter – whether it’s a strike or a miss, the joy is in the connection with others.
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 choices and freshly prepared options the hospitality team prepares 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 Woodberry 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.
