Since 2020, Karingal Green has been setting new standards in aged care in the High Wycombe area. Set on 1.8 hectares of land in this beautiful part of Perth, Karingal Green offers a world-class and connected aged care community, creating a new era of aged care homes for Perth.
Set over three levels, here are some of the things which makes this home so special, and a place to consider when you or a loved one are looking to make the move into aged care.
Accommodation options
The vision for Karingal Green was to achieve a home-like and familiar environment, encouraging independence and reinforcing personal identity for the residents in care. We pride ourselves in offering more than a traditional nursing home and instead a health precinct. We cater for all care requirements, with our North and South Residences.
Our North Residences has been designed to cater for residents who have lower care needs over four wings across two levels, with 18 rooms in each wing. These wings are called The Wildflowers, The Magnolias, The Jacarandas and The Ivy.
Our South Residences have been created to cater for residents who have more complex or specialist care needs, including secure memory support and Parkinson’s-specific care. There are six wings in our South Residence across two levels, called The Willows, Jasmine Place, Poppy Lane, Orchard Grove, The Eucalypts and The Treetops.
With only 160 residential beds, 76 ageing and 84 for high acuity residents, we also offer care programs for secure dementia, young disabled and Parkinson’s. Each of our rooms feature a spacious layout, ensuite bathroom, modern finishes, built-in robes and bright rooms. We offer both single and companion rooms so everyone can feel right at home.
Wellness Centre
One of the most important things when designing our home was to make sure it offered facilities not only for residents, but also the wider community. We wanted everyone to be involved and welcomed into our home, whether visiting a loved one or attending a group class in our hydrotherapy pool. Located on the ground floor, our Wellness Centre offers:
- A medical centre
- A gymnasium
- A hydrotherapy pool
- A community multipurpose space
- A hairdressing and nail salon
Working with our team of allied professionals, our Wellness Centre offers a chance for residents to work on their mobility, enjoy some time in the warm pool and also continue to enjoy activities they would pursue in their day-to-day lives, like having a haircut or their nails painted. The best part of all is that family and friends are welcome to join in on these activities, giving them a chance to experience these services while bonding with their loved one.
Village Green
Creating a diverse and inclusive activity schedule is front-of-mind for our Karingal Green residents and our Village Green has been designed to encourage exactly this. With wide open green spaces, thriving gardens, picnic tables, BBQs and a herb garden, our outdoor area is a beautiful space which is loved by many.
Residents enjoy their morning walks and it’s the perfect spot to sit outside with visitors and catch up over a coffee. For a change of scenery and to enjoy some beautiful sunshine, we have created a variety of different spaces around the home which can be used any time of day. Volleyball is a huge hit with the residents!
Environmental considerations
When designing Karingal Green, a significant stand of mature lemon-scented gum trees lined the north-east corner of the site. It was an important factor during the construction process that we retained the majority of these trees, and they were integrated into the landscape designs with focal points in the Village Green, northern streetscape and main entrance.
In terms of general development, energy efficient and environmentally sustainable principles have been incorporated in the design, reducing waste and landfill during construction. Waterwise awareness and bird and butterfly attracting principles have been included in all landscaped areas, as well as significant tree planting. With plans to install solar panels on the roofs to utilise clean energy, we have many systems and processes in place to leave a green footprint wherever possible.
Karingal Green isn’t only an aged care home, it’s a health community where resident’ needs are put first. With exceptionally designed and executed living spaces and interiors, Karingal Green is an award-winning home, ready for you to call home.
