Roselea, Specialised Dementia Care
Dementia care is our speciality
At Roselea, we concentrate only on dementia care and nothing else, so our team is expert at dealing the unique needs of dementia sufferers and how best to help them thrive.
Clinical team and care staff highly trained with all forms of dementia and our GP visits weekly, who has been with Roselea for many years. You can count on us to provide high quality care and support at any stage of dementia.
Because of our specialism, we can focus on offering a high level of care in a boutique home but without the boutique price tag. Our model of care is centred on truly getting to know each person and their family, enabling us to tailor care to each resident's unique needs.
Roselea is purpose-built for people living with dementia
Our rest home has inviting spaces that are furnished like a real home rather than a health care facility. Roselea is cosy, comfortable and quiet and reminiscent of residents’ own homes. Our sensory garden is designed for people living with dementia Colour, touch and scent can calm and ground, and encourage the recollection of memories.
Doors have a security key coded and all the windows have window restrictors which can only be opened to 20cm.
Hot water taps have preset valves to prevent scalding (except the main kitchen and laundry which is kept locked).
All rooms including bathrooms, communal rooms and bedrooms have a call bell system.
Flooring is plain to help with depth perceptions that people living with dementia can experience.
Common areas including lounges, dining and corridors are under CCTV surveillance, which helps to improve fall risk management.
We encourage families to be involved in supporting their loved ones and families are welcome to pop in to see loved ones at any time that suits.
We believe feelings matter
We believe that as a person’s dementia progresses and their cognition (ability to make decisions) deteriorate, they go from being thinking beings to ‘feeling’ beings. Most of their decisions and communications are based around their present feelings and their sense of reality.
We make a special effort to ‘jump into their bubble’ and connect with their present feelings to interpret their words or communications, regardless of how irrational these may seem to others.
We create a home and offer care which is calming and makes sense of the anxiety they may feel.

Dad and I have gone to many places trying to find respite care. He really likes it here. He as come home and returns quite happy. I found the staff really easy going answer any questions I have and they do beyond to help dad feel comfortable and at home.

My father was in full-time care for over a month before he passed. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the staff and the quality of care given to him during this difficult time. Each time we had to leave we took comfort in knowing that he was in excellent hands and I can’t thank the staff enough for their invaluable support and kindness.

To all of you at Rosela, words cannot express how thankful we are that all of you took care of our mum & nan. You all have been so kind & loving for that last 5 years. I know that mum thought of you as family, just as we do. Again thank you all for everything you have done for mum and ourselves over the years.
