Visiting Someone Living with Dementia

People who live with Dementia can become anxious and frightened at times and may have trouble recognising people. Their behaviour can be unusual or awkward and they may find it hard to express themselves or understand people. However, feelings remain as does spiritual awareness. Visits can stimulate warm feelings, bring comfort and reaffirm spiritual truths.

One Month In: Village Life at St Patrick's Green

It’s been a month since we opened our doors to St Patrick’s Green, Kogarah and the time has just flown by. Our first retirement living residents are already settled into the Village and are enjoying all of the free time that Village life affords. The Greengate team have loved watching our residents get to know each other better over morning tea in the café each day, and have had to exercise a lot of self-restraint by not eating all of the delicious cakes our Head Chef, Nelson has been preparing. Judith, our very first resident to move in, summed it up simply and perfectly: “St Patrick’s Green is a beautiful place.”
