BUSINESS EXCELLENCE: Supporting residents to live their fullest lives

Star of the Sea is a 96-bed aged care residence that is co-located with VMCH’s Star of the Sea Retirement Village.

It uses the Montessori principles of care.

This approach empowers individuals to remain as independent as possible and enjoy meaningful activities around their unique talents and abilities.

All staff receive Montessori training to ensure everyone is working towards the same goal to support each resident to live the fullest life possible.

Their lifestyle team learn about the interests and abilities of each resident and provide meaningful activities for them.

Residents love the buffet-style dining room that enables them to be independent and serve themselves from a selection of meals.

Star of the Sea also has a Memory Support Unit, a designated wing designed for people with dementia. The Memory Support Unit supports 16 individuals and offers them intimate spaces to enjoy and tailored lifestyle activities. The smaller dining room and lounge areas are relaxing and peaceful spaces.

With over 50 years’ experience and 12 aged care residences across Victoria, VMCH is a trusted provider of aged care services.

Star of the Sea welcomes the opportunity to provide further details about all aspects of the Montessori principles of care, the accommodation on offer and the Memory Support Unit.
