What our Residents' Loved Ones Have to Say
What our Residents' Loved Ones Have to Say
Gay visits TriCare’s Stafford Lakes Aged Care Residence daily to see her husband Jimmy, who is experiencing the early stages of dementia.
The 24-hour care gives Gay peace of mind that he’s safe and well supported, and it’s easy for her to visit, being just around the corner from the couple’s North Brisbane home. “I come at 8am each day, and we spend a few hours together, either watching TV together or just catching up,” Gay said.
Today, despite circumstances forcing them to live apart, the couple remains inseparable. Find out more about their love story and TriCare’s Stafford Lakes Aged Care Residence here.

All of our Aged Care Residences provide Dementia Care. However, some of our residences provide a Secure Memory Support Unit. This means that part of the facility has additional security to prevent residents with exit-seeking behaviour from accessing the outside environment without supervision. This part of the facility allows people with dementia to live as independently as possible while ensuring their safety.
If your loved one requires specialised Dementia Care and needs to live within a Secure Memory Support Unit, this will be identified and highlighted in their support plan as part of their ACAT assessment. Find a Secure Memory Support Unit here.
The costs of living in nursing homes is determined by Services Australia. For more information, refer to Costs & Contracts for Residential Aged Care.
