Golden Healthcare<br />

Group<br />

Golden Healthcare Group provides<br />

dementia, aged care and mental health<br />

support at seven facilities employing<br />

259 staff and cares for approximately<br />

350 residents. Also provides Villas and<br />

Apartments<br />

Rest home care is provided in Golden<br />

Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest<br />

Home, both of which also encompass<br />

retirement villages. Brookhaven also<br />

has a dementia care unit along with the<br />

dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and<br />

Somerfield Rest Homes. Furthermore,<br />

Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated<br />

dementia unit, but Hoon Hay House on<br />

the same site specialises in mental health.<br />

Also owned by Golden Healthcare<br />

Group is The Lady Wigram Village.<br />

The latest hotel style accommodation<br />

includes a restaurant, licensed bar,<br />

billiard room, movie theatre and library.<br />

They have available the last of the Villas<br />

and the apartments ready for occupation<br />

now with staff available daily to show<br />

people around.<br />

Apartments are a perfect balance<br />

of independence and peace of mind.<br />

Provided are a daily meal, morning<br />

and afternoon tea plus support in<br />

maintaining the apartment leaving more<br />

time for socialising. They have a singing<br />

group, knitting and lots of other groups<br />

to fill in the day.<br />

The next stage of Lady Wigram is<br />

now well underway, featuring another<br />

14 apartments, swimming pool, spa<br />

and gym. These will be completed by<br />

Christmas.<br />

When completed Lady Wigram<br />

will have 73 apartments, a rest home,<br />

a dementia facility and a hospital in<br />

addition to the Villas.<br />

“In our experience, a lot of people are<br />

choosing to move into retirement village<br />

life earlier because they recognise the<br />

benefits of the ease of living and it allows<br />

them greater freedom and more social<br />

interaction. This means that it’s really<br />

important for us to provide amenities<br />

that help residents to socialise and<br />

keep active. More and more, retirement<br />

villages are becoming communities<br />

within their own right.”<br />

Device to prevent<br />

snoring<br />

Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />

help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />

dry and raw throats.<br />

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />

for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />

provided.<br />

Denise Lim has been involved with<br />

Snores for 22 years<br />

and has had a 98%<br />

success rate with<br />

people using the<br />

appliance. Snoring<br />

can be a health<br />

hazard, causing<br />

sleep apnoea, where<br />

the person actually<br />

stops breathing for<br />

short periods.<br />

It can cause<br />

short-term memory<br />

loss, tiredness and<br />

contribute to high<br />

blood pressure.<br />

The Snorex<br />

device does not feel<br />

restrictive, is noninvasive<br />

and carries<br />

a money-back guarantee.<br />

Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />

and throat specialists, however, anyone<br />

can phone for an appointment.<br />

For an information pack or to discuss<br />

the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim<br />
