Description:

Regis Boronia Heights - Greenbank

Kangaroos and kookaburras are regular visitors to the gardens of Regis Boronia Heights. Just one of the many reasons why residents love the bushland, which backs onto the leafy outdoor area outside our low care section.

But wildlife spotting is only a small part of the Boronia Heights lifestyle. Set in the quiet Brisbane suburb of Greenbank, we're close to public transport and have easy access to the bustling shopping precinct of Browns Plains.

The atmosphere of the whole facility is always buoyant. Walk through the corridors, whether it's our relatively new low care area or the high care section, and you'll hear lots of conversation and laughter.

It's all due to the great dynamic between staff and residents. Visitors always comment on how friendly Boronia Heights' staff are to everyone, so expect plenty of smiles and offers of assistance.

Another big plus is that our staff and residents come from all corners of the world - Ireland, Scotland, China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Zimbabwe, Samoa, and that's just our nurses. The backgrounds of our residents are equally diverse. Such a cultural mix makes for fabulous activities and events, as well as the everyday atmosphere.

Our activities coordinators put on everything from cultural theme days and armchair travel presentations to regular bus excursions. Recent trips include visits to the beach at Red Cliff and picnics at the Peace Gardens near Ipswich.

We even have our own choir, made up of enthusiastic residents in resplendent cassocks. Their performances are always a highlight at our concerts and other special occasions, like Christmas.

Boronia Heights has two dementia-specific areas, one in our low care section and another in high care. Activities within these areas cater to people with cognitive impairment. Painting and craft are popular so lively artwork is often displayed on the walls.

Boronia Heights residents are also able to take advantage of the following services on offer:

* regular church service
* massage therapy
* on-site library
* on-site hairdressing and beauty therapy
* volunteer program
* experienced in-house chef and catering staff
* special dietary requirements met

Residents receive all the benefits of the Regis Group's living care model of responsive support provided by leading professionals and tailored to individual medical, cultural and religious preferences.
