| Eden Alternative- a philosophy of care
We have adopted the Eden Alternative at Kilmarnock Heights Home, which means we work to create vibrant living and work environments for our residents. We encourage residents to maintain their own routines and continue with hobbies and interests. Residents' pets, the presence of children, plenty of plants and gardens and a high level of local community involvement is a part of our Homes' everyday life. Community Cafe Kilmarnock Heights Home welcome those over 65 to morning tea and also a nutritious and affordable lunch - just call us in the morning and we will cater for you. This is a great opportunity to meet with like-minded people in a warm and friendly environment. |
