The Jesmond Group has three specialised Aged-Care facilities, committed to providing a highly personal level of care to all the residents. Our wide range of services and programs are designed to care for the physical, social and emotional needs of each of our residents. At the Jesmond Group, our team is dedicated to ensuring that our residents feel safe, secure and well cared for.
Our holistic approach to care provides residents with assistance for most day-to-day living activities, with additional care from either registered nurses or from careers under their supervision, 24 hours a day. The care team at Jesmond deliver a truly person-centered care approach, encouraging residents to make their own decisions and choices.
At Jesmond, we have the expertise and experience to offer memory support care to people living with early or late stage of progressive dementia, minimising discomfort and enhancing their quality of life along the way.
We understand just how important it is for carers to take a break from time to time. Whether you require respite for just a few days or for an extended period, we deliver the support you need and make the transition as smooth and pain-free as possible. We’ll help you relax and give you comfort in knowing the person you care for is being well looked after.
The Jesmond Group specialises in caring for people from specific cultural and religious backgrounds. We celebrate all cultures and are proud to be able to meet the needs of those with diverse cultural preferences. This means we focus on specialist cultural care where everything is customised from food options and diet requirements to a multilingual team that can comfortably converse with and care for our residents.
At The Jesmond Group we provide a wide range of community activities. These include regular bus trips to a variety of locations, community centres such as the Men’s Shed and other special events. Inside our homes we have intergenerational programs bringing the community to our residents. Other activities include live entertainers, music therapy, a visiting art therapist, and pet therapy. We conduct regular surveys of our residents’ needs and incorporate these into our daily programs and activities. The Jesmond Group offers a holistic approach to the care or our residents to ensure we offer the highest level of care whilst maintaining community connections. The Jesmond Group also has a volunteer program and we encourage community members and families to become involved.
