Residential Aged Care

Security, dignity, comfort and companionship are the hallmarks of life here for our residents, where they can relax and socialise in our welcoming dining and living areas, and even pull up a chair next to a fire place.

Built in 2006 and recently refurbished, Faversham House is designed to complement and enhance the existing neighbourhood streetscape, creating a welcoming, home-like atmosphere. From the rooms right through to the tranquil gardens – the aim is to promote individualism and personalised care, where our residents can continue their day-to-day life with minimal interruption.

At BASScare, we understand how anxious a time it can be when a loved one moves into residential care. As a proudly approved provider of Residential Aged Care in Melbourne, we ensure that the wonderful staff we employ are highly qualified and compassionate. The whole BASScare team is dedicated to providing dignity and respect for all our residents. Guided by Ageing in Place, we offer a consultative approach, ensuring that all our residents receive the appropriate individualised level of care in accordance with their progressive care requirements.

About

A diagnosis of dementia affects the entire family. Caring for a person with dementia is unlike caring for someone with any other condition or disability, due to its complex, unpredictable and progressive nature. At Faversham House, we have an “Assisted Memory Unit” (ALU) which provides safe and attentive care for residents with dementia. Specifically designed for this pivotal area of need, it has its own secure garden area and activity lounge, where we run appropriate, engaging and tailored lifestyle programs each day. All staff at Faversham House are specifically trained to care for people with dementia. They understand the complex nature of dementia, and that people with dementia experience a different reality to what we experience and believe in it just as strongly as we believe in our own.
