Greystanes Community Living


Greystanes Community Living service includes homes throughout the Blue Mountains and Penrith. Disability Support Workers and Registered Nurses provide 24 hour care to clients who have complex physical and intellectual disabilities and fragile health. 

 

 

Community Life

 

Our houses  are in a variety of settings and clients are an integral part of the neighbourhood. These homes are equipped with the specialised equipment that a client might need and well trained staff assist clients in their daily lives and in their participation in the community. Community activities, family barbeques, birthday celebrations, sensory experiences, social opportunities and exercise are all important aspects of the lives of our clients.

 


Healthy Life


Our staff are well supported in meeting the health needs of clients, by the Health Support Team, consisting of a Clinical Nurse Consultant, a Physiotherapist, a Speech Pathologist, Speech Pathologist, an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse and an Accredited Practising Dietitian.

 

Family Life


A client's family receives priority at Greystanes. Families are encouraged to play an important role in their family member's life and in assisting them in making decisions. The culture of a family, their spiritual preferences, their desire to be part of the everyday life of their person are always respected and staff keep in frequent contact with families and share stories, experiences and photos.
