Lifestyle

Our commitment is to ensure Aperee Homes operate under the four pillars of

  • Respect

  • Trust

  • Excellence

  • Compassion

These four pillars guide us in our day-to-day interactions with residents, their families/carers and all with whom we interact with on a day to day basis. Choosing to live in a long term care facility is not an easy decision– either for the resident or for their families. Our goal is to make sure that decision is as easy as possible for those considering long term care. We do that by underscoring every action and interaction with our values. Our overriding desire is that those who trust us with their care are confident with their choice and live their best lives with us.

In order to enhance the living experience of residents who live with us, Aperee aspires to meet the needs of every individual in all aspects of their lives. This includes spirituality, creativity, life-long learning, emotional wellbeing, rest, relaxation and clinical care.

Activities

At Aperee we take great pride in the provision of a broad range of stimulating and interesting indoor and outdoor activities for residents. Activities are designed to cover all interests in so far as possible and include a wide variety of interesting and enjoyable pursuits. Participation in activities is dictated by our residents with likes, dislikes, abilities, and activities designed, coordinated and monitored by our dedicated and qualified activity coordinators in consultation with the clinical teams, physiotherapist and residents’ committees. Resident requests can also be facilitated in many circumstances and they are encouraged to bring their suggestions for additional activities to the activity coordinator.

Features

Each Aperee Home also features new and innovative technology and equipment that either stimulate the senses (where that is required) or provide a calming and relaxing environment. Snoezelen Rooms are a common feature in our Homes and are designed for individual relaxation.

"We believe in creating warm and
compassionate environments where
kindness and empathy flourish."

Dining

As food is such an important part of daily life for us all, Aperee pays special attention to both the broader dining experience (decor, seating, crockery, utensils) as well as the daily menu.

The decor in dining areas creates a warm and inviting environment where residents look forward to sitting with friends to enjoy the varied and nutritious meals on offer. The decor is enhanced by carefully chosen crockery and utensils, suitable for all abilities and dining garments used to protect clothing are tasteful and dignified.

Nutrition

At Aperee, we take great care to ensure that our food is prepared using the highest quality ingredients to ensure a well-balanced and nutritious diet for all our residents, regardless of their individual needs. We focus on fresh, seasonal and home-cooked fare and our delicious menus are inspired by local culture as well as innovation in the field of cooking. Aperee Chefs and catering staff are carefully selected for their passion for good quality, home-cooked and interesting food.

While meal times are scheduled to ensure that residents can get the most out of each day, individual needs are also accommodated including different meal times and meals in residents’ bedrooms or quiet areas if that is what is required. Special diets are catered for including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and lactose free, as well as food allergies.  When a new resident joins an Aperee Home, we make every effort to learn what the resident likes and we do all that we can to meet their tastes and preferences. 

At Aperee we understand that marking an occasion and celebrating happy events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions, are important for residents and their extended families and friends. Consequently special occasions are catered for with great excitement and pleasure in all Aperee Homes.  With a little notice we can prepare an event to challenge any other venue and we encourage residents and families to let us know of upcoming events that they wish to celebrate.
