Emmaus Village is a unique residential community for those living with dementia. This innovatively designed small-household model, originally developed in Europe, provides villagers with familiar surroundings. Our purpose is to enable residents to live their best life with freedom, independence and dignity.
Our 94 residents will live in 12 fully functioning, domestic style houses with 7 to 8 residents per house. We provide a home-like environment that enables our residents to participate in normal household duties including shopping, cooking and housekeeping. Emmaus Village provides our Villagers with a sense of belonging in their community; where they have the independence to maintain the normalcy of daily life, and the opportunity to explore the village freely.
The hub of the village is our community centre with a café, shop, beauty salon, wellness centre and cinema. The landscaped gardens include BBQs, a vegetable garden and activity shed.
Registered Nurses (RNs) at Emmaus Village, will work out of the Wellness Centre as part of a multidisciplinary team, providing holistic health care to our villagers.
You will be excited and passionate about providing excellent clinical care, within a small-household model and in collaboration with Home Companions and the Dementia Support Consultant. Unlike traditional aged care, residents are encouraged to attend appointments at the Wellness Centre to ensure the delivery of appropriate, effective and safe care that meets their health, social and psychological needs.
As an essential member of the clinical team, you will possess excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to build collaborative relationships with villagers, family members, health professionals and the wider village team and have a focus on innovation and continuous improvement.
You will partner with residents in their ongoing assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation to ensure they receive the individually specific care they need for their health and wellbeing. You will apply a consultative approach to case management and clinical decision making, considering villagers needs and preferences.
