LIFESTYLE & WELLBEING Staying happy and healthy
with the support of Anglican Care
At Anglican Care, we understand that the key to maintaining a good quality of life is to stay as healthy and happy as possible for as long as possible. Our unique, award winning lifestyle and wellbeing programs help you to do just that. They’re designed to promote engagement, pleasure and fun through a range of activities such as live concerts and entertainment, outings, music, art, pet therapy, gentle exercise and much more. You can enjoy your favourite pastimes or try something completely new. Whatever you choose, you’ll be doing it with the help and encouragement of people who have a genuine interest in your happiness and wellbeing.
You’re in safe, caring hands. Our Lifestyle and Wellbeing team is here to support you in every way with empathy, understanding and respect. All team members are dedicated, highly skilled aged care professionals. For them, this isn’t simply a job; it’s a genuine commitment to ensuring that you enjoy a lifestyle that is as satisfying and fulfilling as your capabilities allow.
Lifestyle programs as individual as you Getting to know you is at the heart of everything we do! Through conversations with you and your family, we seek to learn the story of your life, to truly understand who you are and what makes you unique. With your specific needs and personality in mind, our dedicated Lifestyle and Wellbeing staff will design a program of activities. Flexible and practical, this program will assist you to remain active in body and mind. We don’t stop there. We also offer innovative programs across our organisation such as our Pamper-Me, Lifestyle Resource Van and DART Program.
Feel relaxed & rejuvenated Our Pamper-Me Program brings therapeutic and relaxing treatments directly to you. Everyone loves to be pampered and there are many benefits to be enjoyed from the treatments available as part of this unique program. From boosting self esteem and confidence with make up and hair, to activities such as gentle hand massage and manicures, we have it covered. A sense of touch has profound effects for both men and women, promoting physical, emotional and mental wellbeing by releasing endorphins and creating a sense of calmness. Pamper-Me evokes smiles, laughter and high spirits. It’s good fun.
Bringing the fun to you Meet Rene, our mobile lifestyle resource van - bringing the fun to you. A modern take on the mobile library, Rene is full of resources for recreation and learning such as iPads, indoor golf sets, art and craft items, large print books, games and DVDs. Rene comes right to your door and all items can be borrowed free of charge. Exclusive to Anglican Care, Rene is just one of the award winning programs we’ve developed to enhance and support the lifestyles of both you and your carer. We know you’ll enjoy exploring everything that Rene has to offer.

A targeted response to escalating behaviours Respect for the individual and compassion for all are deeply embedded in the Anglican Care culture. This never matters more than when the health or environment of someone living with dementia triggers an escalation of symptoms, either in their home or in one of our residential aged care homes. That’s where our Direct Action Response Team (DART) comes in. The aim of the DART team is to treat the person on an individual basis to alleviate the escalation through the combination of therapy based strategies and a deep understanding of each person’s physical and mental health, environment, interests, life experiences and family relationships. Using their extensive training, our team implements strategies such as exercise, music, reminiscence, multi-sensory experiences and pet therapy to calm emotions, sooth anxieties and alleviate the escalation of behaviours naturally. DART is another evidence-based lifestyle program exclusive to Anglican Care.
