Charles Brownlow Village, located in Highton only 15 minutes from the heart of Geelong. Aged care is not an 'add on' at a Ryman village, it is built into the fabric of our villages from the very first design concepts. So, if your health needs change over time, we can continue looking after you.Since Ryman Healthcare began, 35 years ago, the standard has been: It’s got to be good enough for Mum and Dad.The village offers a full range of aged-care options including residential aged care (low care and high care) and specialist dementia care. Your care is customised according to your needs and preferences.
The aged-care centre in Charles Brownlow Retirement Village is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A clinical manager and unit coordinators oversee the trained carers and registered nurses in the delivery of residents daily care with our staff ratios being some of the highest in the aged-care sector.
All the rooms are private and are spacious and air-conditioned, with monitored call bells in the room and ensuite. Residents and families can choose from a selection of room layouts, all with an ensuite bathroom. The rooms are their own personal space, and they can furnish it to be comfortable and homely.
At Ryman, our care plans come to life through our own electronic care app, myRyman. This award-winning app engages residents and their families in the care plan. Located in every care room, a device enables nurses and carers to view the care plan, and record daily care tasks for each resident.
It all combines to create a haven for residents to relax in, with many rooms overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens or courtyards. There is plenty of space to welcome visitors and all rooms have a television.
Food is really important, and our residents love the food in our seasonal Delicious menu, which is prepared fresh, daily on-site by village chefs.Our staff work tirelessly to ensure the comfort and happiness of the residents and, if their needs change, they have priority access to other levels of care - right there in the village.
