Care & Support

Bespoke, upscale and personalised care

In November 2019 the Russley village celebrated the opening of the Ashley Suites care facility. A care residence that is comprised of 44 care suites, offering rest home and hospital level care. This facility allows the Russley Village to offer a full continuum of care – with quality and consistency throughout.

The creation of Ashley Suites was purposeful. We sought to provide a care offering and environment that was exceptional. Creating a beautiful residence from which tailored and meaningful care could be delivered, overlaid with an upscale hospitality offering. A new perspective on delivering discerning retirees an uncompromised lifestyle and care in their latter years.

Personalised Care

There is significant emphasis placed on our resident needs, rather than adopting a regimented and ‘tick box’ approach. Our residents take the lead in their lifestyle, supported by a collaborative approach between clinical staff and family. The extra time, effort and energy to adopt and engage in this model of care – has delivered significant outcomes enhancing the daily life of both our residents and team.

Ashley Care Suites

The reassurance of quality is built in to everything we do at The Russley. However, nowhere is the requirement for reassurance more important than within our care suites.

Our Care Suites with private ensuites have been designed to offer spacious and upscale residential care up to hospital level. Each feature a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave and refreshment making facilities conveniently situated within the entry lobby of the suite, allowing for functional separation and a sense of residence.

The cabinetry within the care suite has been carefully considered to be both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Crafted storage space for clothing and footwear, as well as a built in sideboard for residents personal objet d’art and memory accoutrements. All care suites boast a 55 inch television for resident enjoyment. Upholstered bed heads add a residential feel, with an reversible coverlet affording personal choice.

The window treatments have both fabric drapes to soften the room and add a sense of home; as well as sun blinds to provide residents the flexibility with light and privacy. All suites have been designed to accommodate an integrated ceiling hoist should our residents require. Individually controlled air conditioning enable residents to personalise their care suite temperature.

Ashley Care Suites offers familiarity where quality of life is not compromised.

Ashley Suites Offering

Ashley Suites has been designed and decorated with a residential underscore – an intentional move to incorporate high quality fittings and interiors – creating a sense of home and familiarity. With centralised living and dining rooms creating an environment of conviviality and companionship.

There is attention to detail and quality, whether it be the warmth of timber wall claddings and fireplace, or the detail in its decoration. The curated books, picture frames, nostalgic art, flowers, drink coasters, refreshment trays, are just some of the examples of how this home has been created.

A private lounge on the upper floor provides both residents and families a place to congregate both for social engagements, and also a place for respite and reflection. A dedicated salon and wellbeing suite on the first floor, allows our residents to pamper, groom and maintain dignity within the privacy of their home of Ashley Suites.

The extensive and completed amenity on offer within the wider village, provide a unique experience and opportunity for our Ashley Suites care facility residents. The village amenity has been designed to enable residents with higher acuity to participate and enjoy, including a cinema with accessible viewing options, low rise garden allotments, easy access to the village café and sheltered platform for bowling viewing.

We experience mutual visitation between the village residents and the care facility, with many village residents affording their time to assist in activities. This creates an engaging and integrated living environment – “a community”.

The award winning Russley Village gardens provide our care facility residents with delight. Our activity programme integrates these environs, whether it be through daily walks, flower picking and arranging, sensory experiences or seasonal display and planting.
