The Plains is conveniently situated in the southern suburb of Eight Mile Plains.
The name “The Plains” derives from the suburb name. Also, as a topographical feature, “plains” evoke images of what we want The Plains to be for our residents – relaxed, accommodating, spacious and fruitful.
The Plains Aged Care Facility has 108 resident rooms, all ensuited, with eight being double rooms. Each of the eight “houses” has its own kitchen, dining room, lounge, family room and activities space. Upper floor houses have balconies where residents may relax, enjoy the view, or watch the comings and goings. Ground floor houses have their own spacious courtyards with gazebos and extensive landscaping.
The Village is blessed with an abundance of indoor and outdoor spaces for residents’ & relatives’ enjoyment. These include library, café, 300-seat community hall, central courtyard, town square, swimming pool (with spa nook), barbeque pavilion, pond area with gazebo, children’s playground and residents’ workshop. A hairdressing salon is another well used village amenity.
The Plains is a little different from some other aged care facilities, in that it operates on a ‘house’ (or ‘lifestyle’) model of care as opposed to a ‘medical’ model. This means that resident areas are as home-like as possible, with no effort spared to avoid the institutional or hospital-like environments that characterise or used to characterise, the traditional aged care facility.
This difference is deeper than the physical fabric (which certainly does look and feel eminently homelike). For example, at The Plains, care is driven by residents’ needs and preferences, not routines, and carers look after total lifestyle needs (i.e. not just those of a 'personal care' nature).
