a Day at the Salon
For an organisation that prides itself on specialised, personalised care, the small things obviously count for us. Being treated to some pampering at the salon forms part of this holistic view. It allows our residents a calming and comforting experience with our professional groomers and hairdressers.

We provide a safe and serene environment where everyone feels included, can remain independent for longer, and can maintain a sense of choice and control over their lives. We welcome live-in spouses, encourage freedom of movement both indoors and outdoors, and are pet-friendly. Over and above this, our incredible care workers and nursing staff are the soul of our organisation. Their compassion, professionalism and dedication allows you peace of mind as they become like family members who care for your loved ones as you would.

Companionship
As humans, companionship is one of our most powerful natural need states. It connects us through shared experiences, communication, laughter, and just being there for each other. Again, it is a critical aspect of Livewell’s highly developed, specialised dementia care. Our companions are those beautiful people who have a calling in life to simply help others, and give thoughtlessly of their time and energy. They are more than just individual dementia carers and specialist nurses: they are friends, allies and confidants. With this disease, we realise the value you will place on the constant care and compassion provided by our remarkable Livewell companions.
