What does HammondCare Daw Park offer?
The warmth of home: All of HammondCare's homes offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere with all the comforts of home. They each have their own dining, lounge, and outdoor areas, with accessible courtyards and beautiful gardens.
Engagement with life: We offer residents the opportunity to take part in everyday activities which provide a sense of purpose and feeling involved. As well as daily activities, we provide opportunities for bus trips to beaches or national parks, visits from school students, and music and pet therapy.
A fresh food culture: High quality, varied, and delicious food is essential to everyone’s physical and emotional health. That’s why all our meals are freshly cooked on-site, and mealtimes are shared as an enjoyable social activity in the home.
Comprehensive support: At HammondCare, we aim to provide comprehensive support for each resident, their family, and carers, to help embrace physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. We value understanding your wishes for care in the future and can provide information for you about how to communicate those wishes to your care team.

HammondCare is proud to provide support for those that others can't or won't. The Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) provides individualised care for people who are experiencing severe BPSD and are unable to be adequately cared for in a standard residential aged care setting.
The SDCP offers temporary, transitional care to stabilise and reduce a person’s behavioural symptoms with the aim of enabling them to transition to a less intensive care setting.
This program requires referral and needs-based assessment delivered by Dementia Support Australia. To learn more about eligibility and how to access visit;
