feature a health and wellness hub with GP clinics and other health services, an expanded gym, and adult day respite centre care to support people living at home.“Our goal is to help people stay at home as long as possible by providing restorative care and connecting them with our community,” Chadwick notes. This expanded model will allow people to continue living at home with a higher quality of life, integrating them into the MICRO TOWN® as they need additional support. However, perhaps one of the most groundbreaking components of version 2.0 is the integration of childcare within the community. “We’re building a childcare center fully integrated with our adult programs,” Chadwick shares. This cross-generational approach will see children and seniors engaging in daily activities together, from shared meals to arts and crafts, fostering bonds that enrich both groups. Chadwick envisions a truly integrated environment where “older people are engaged daily in what’s happening with the children, and vice versa.” FAMILY BUSINESS VALUES NewDirection Care’s transformation into a family business brings an added layer of dedication. Chadwick’s brother, Greg Aleckson, and her son, Justin Chadwick, are now deeply involved, working with her to sustain and expand the company’s mission. “Having them on board has renewed my desire to continue innovating and challenging the status quo,” Chadwick reveals. “It’s inspiring to know that we’re building something together, not only for residents we support but also for the future of aged care.” Proud suppliers of beds and bedroom furniture to NewDirection Care. wentworthcare.com.au 03 9408 9710 info@wentworthcare.com.au Trusted aged care furniture supplier for over 20 years 6 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 06, ISSUE 11
