Which Aged Care Service is Right for Your Loved One?

Families are increasingly confronted with the challenge of finding suitable aged care for their loved ones, including support for seniors living at home, residential care and navigating the options available.

At Coolibah Care in Mandurah, we provide living choices, sound advice and compassionate support for families, offering a continuum of services tailored to meet diverse needs.

Coolibah Care: An Introduction

Founded on a legacy of compassion and community well-being, we have been a trusted provider of aged care services in Mandurah for decades. From humble beginnings, Coolibah has evolved into a comprehensive care provider, focussing on supporting individuals at every stage of their ageing journey.

We understand that each individual has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we offer specialised services, including dementia-specific support and palliative care, ensuring that every resident receives the person-centred attention they deserve.

Whether it’s retirement living, home care or residential services, we are committed to providing compassionate care that enhances quality of life.

Independent Living with Coolibah: Finding Freedom in Community

Coolibah’s independent living options offer the perfect solution for those seeking to maintain their independence while enjoying the benefits of community living.

For example, Mary loves maintaining her independence and has a busy social life but has decided to downsize as she has started to struggle to keep up with the household chores and maintenance. With the support of her family, Mary decided to seek out independent living options so she can maintain her current schedule and explore what retirement living has to offer, including what access to assistance may be available in the future.

Our independent living village provides a community-focused and supportive environment.  Make new friends or catch up with old ones in the nearby shopping center. Stay active at the local recreation center which is close by as well, or purchase a meal at the communal dining area.

Coolibah offers Lease for Life and rental options, depending on availability, which are regulated by the Retirement Villages Act.

Our dedicated team is on hand to guide you through the options, ensuring a smooth transition into independent living.

Supported Independent Living Vacancies with Coolibah

For those in need of a transitional option between independent living and residential care, we offer Supported Independent Living.

This unique program provides individuals with the flexibility to maintain their independence while accessing additional support such as meals, cleaning, and linen service. With a focus on empowering residents to live life to the fullest, Coolibah Plus offers one-bedroom serviced apartments.

For supported independent living vacancies, complete our application form to begin the process. If there is no immediate vacancy, your application will be placed on a waitlist.

Coolibah’s In-Home Care Options

At Coolibah, we understand that many individuals prefer to remain in the comfort of their own homes as they age.

As an example, Bill and Susan have always been able to offer support and assistance to each other when struggling with tasks, however, some of these tasks are becoming too difficult to assist each other with as they age. They decide together to request an assessment from My Aged Care for a Home Care Package or CHSP services.

As a local and trusted Home Care Provider in Mandurah,  we offer comprehensive in-home care services designed to support individuals in their environment. From personal care to household assistance, our team works closely with clients to develop support plans that meet their unique needs.

Coolibah’s point of difference lies in our responsive and person-centred approach to care. We focus on the individual, delivering care that is tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Respite Care with Coolibah

Our respite programs for seniors provide caregivers with much-needed respite while ensuring that their loved ones receive the social interaction and mental stimulation they need. From our Day Club to The Cottage, which offers 24-hour care in a homely environment, Coolibah’s respite care options cater to a variety of needs. This might be a full-time carer who needs a break for the day or for a while.

By enrolling their loved one or client in Coolibah’s Day Club, they can take some time for themselves …while knowing that their loved one is in good hands.

Coolibah’s Residential Care

When the time comes to consider residential care, Coolibah stands as a trusted partner in providing clinical care and supervision in a supportive environment.

For example, Gary may have had another serious fall and, after being treated in hospital, is too frail to return home due to the ongoing risks to his health and safety.  Alternatively, Mary has been a long-term resident in the independent living village but due to her decline in health, and more complex care needs, transitioned into residential care with Coolibah. 

Our residential facilities offer a range of amenities and services designed to enhance the quality of life for residents.

Making the Transition to Coolibah Care Smooth

We understand that transitioning to aged care can be a challenging time for both residents and their families. That’s why we offer comprehensive support services to ensure a smooth integration into Coolibah’s care.

From emotional support to practical assistance, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for support for the seniors living at home, preparing for the move or settling into your new home, Coolibah’s dedicated professionals are committed to making the transition as seamless as possible.
