Anglicare SQ St Martin's Residential Care at Taigum QLD

Overview

St Martin’s Residential Aged Care Home

St Martin’s is a single level home, located in the leafy suburb of Taigum, north Brisbane. It is home to 70 residents. Our Specialist Dementia Care Program Unit has nine beds available for people living with dementia who have more complex needs and are unable to be cared for by mainstream aged care services.

There is a real sense of community and family with the beautiful landscaped gardens and sunrooms adjoining the rooms. St Martin’s is also conveniently located close to neighbourhood shops, and is on a public transport route.

Our qualified and caring staff assist in fostering a loving community and friendships through activities and a variety of social hubs. The al fresco and barbeque area or one of the sunrooms are a relaxing place for residents to read or catch-up with family and friends. Other social hubs include the communal and dining areas for each wing, and a community hall for special events and functions.

At St Martin’s we go to great lengths to make you feel at home and know your life experience is valued and respected.

Specialist Dementia Care Program

The Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) is a new Department of Health (Commonwealth) grant-funded initiative designed to provide best-practice care for people exhibiting very severe behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. St Martin’s has been selected to deliver the SDCP in Queensland and provides transitional, specialised dementia care for up to nine people in a separate, secure and purpose-designed facility.

Your Community

Our leisure and lifestyle specialists coordinate a broad variety of activities with the residents. Pre-entry discussions and feedback from our residents helps our staff to identify leisure interests so our program can be tailored to suit preferences. Residents can enjoy relaxing in the garden, dining areas, communal lounge and a larger space where concerts and functions are held.

A fully qualified spiritual and pastoral carer is available to provide spiritual support for both residents and their families.

The food we serve is carefully planned with nutrition, fresh produce, taste and variety in mind. We review menus regularly, run food focus groups and encourage feedback from our residents to understand what they like and if they have any new meal ideas. Our kitchen staff provide freshly prepared meals, delivered to our dining areas. Special dietary requirements are catered for including individual and cultural needs.
