Our residential aged care facility is equipped with a 24-hour emergency call system in every room, and our nursing team is available around the clock to respond to emergencies. In the event of a medical crisis, our staff works swiftly to ensure residents receive the appropriate care, whether through on-site support or coordination with external medical professionals.

We recognise the joy and comfort pets can bring to residents’ lives. While Aurrum Reservoir may not allow full-time pet residency, pet visits are warmly encouraged as part of our pet therapy program, fostering connection and companionship.
Is there a difference between an aged care home, residential care, and nursing home?
Aged care facilities and nursing homes refer to the same thing—residential accommodation supported by health care for older people who are unable to live independently.
Why go into residential aged care?
There are several reasons why someone might choose residential aged care:
- Higher level of care: Residential aged care provides 24/7 access to professional nursing and support staff, ensuring that residents’ medical and personal needs are attended to round-the-clock.
- Safety and security: Aged care facilities like Aurrum Aged Care Reservoir are designed with safety in mind, offering features such as handrails, emergency call systems, and accessible amenities.
- Social interaction: Social isolation among the elderly is a real threat. That’s why residential aged care communities like Aurrum foster social engagement through activities like arts and crafts, gardening, fitness classes, and cultural celebrations, showing how assisted living in Reservoir VIC improves quality of life.
- Access to amenities: Communal areas, gardens, and recreational spaces enhance residents’ day-to-day living.
- Relief for caregivers: Transitioning to aged care can alleviate the responsibilities placed on family members or caregivers, ensuring loved ones receive the best possible care.
What should I know before moving to aged care?
Transitioning to aged care involves several key considerations:
- Financial planning: Understand the costs of care and explore available government subsidies.
- Downsizing and organising belongings: Prepare for your new space by bringing only essential and sentimental items.
- Emotional adjustment: Moving into aged care can be challenging; lean on support networks and take time to adapt.
