Why you shouldn’t be afraid of aged care at Odyssey

Many seniors are opposed to or even afraid of moving into an aged care facility. To some, aged care can mean no longer being able to schedule their own life, missing out on family events, or feeling separated from the wider community. Whilst this may not always be the case, it is understandable why you or your parents are reluctant to make a move.

This is why Odyssey was founded–we want to be different from the traditional aged care model and provide care that ensures you get to live your life the way you want in a nurturing and supportive community. 

From the layout of our apartments and facilities to how we have grown our community with our residents, Odyssey puts people, their dignity, and independence first.

Our beautifully crafted apartments

Our 1 or 2 bedroom apartments are built for real people, who want to continue their life as normal. 

Our fully-articulated, architecturally designed apartments feature:

• 75-90sqm floor plans
• Ducted, reverse cycle air-conditioning
• Designer appliances and finishes 
• Stone benchtops
• Larger light switches, mixer taps, and integrated safety features
• Full-size kitchen
• Lots of hidden storage 
• Laundry cupboard with provided dryer
• Spacious living areas
• And much more!

When you move to Odyssey, it truly is your home—you bring your furniture and decorate however you like.

Your family is always welcome

Friends and family are integral to enjoying life. Our philosophy at Odyssey is ‘it’s your home, your way’. We want you to experience the freedom of independence with in-built care. You can:

• Make your own schedule 
• Leave Odyssey whenever you want to
• Have guests over at any time you please. This includes sleepovers! 

When you move to Odyssey, your pets are welcome too. We understand these furry (or not) friends are a part of your family too. Our residents have pets ranging from goldfish to cats (who tend to keep an eye on one another), dogs to birds. 

You can learn more about pets at Odyssey here.

Proactive technology to support you

Since the beginning of Odyssey, we’ve used the latest technology to monitor and prioritise our residents’ care—without invading their privacy.

Our enhanced emergency alerting systems provide extra confidence and peace of mind to residents. And help is only ever a push of a button away. Our care team is located onsite 24 hours a day and will respond to emergency calls within minutes.

5-Star hotel facilities

Enjoy our hotel-style perks right on your doorstep. 

Our concierge services ensure you can enjoy your life without stress. Need help with a piece of technology? Want to book a taxi or find a new restaurant? Our concierge team is here to help.

Our residents also have several cosy areas to just sit back and relax. Our Piano Lounge is the perfect spot to socialise in a comfortable seat and enjoy the gentle sound of our classic piano. Feeling like a bit of sun? Every second level of Odyssey features a Sky Garden, an outdoor lounge area with lush greenery, and a view. 

Our library offers lovely seating areas for you to dive into a novel or you can borrow one to enjoy wherever suits you. Or maybe you have wine on your mind, in which case you can stock your favourite bottle of red, white, or rose in our fine wine cellar.

Flexicare plans

Odyssey was created to be the better alternative to aged care. You can see this at every step of your Odyssey journey, especially in our care packages. We prioritise your independence with care built-in and readily available. 

Our Flexicare packages are delivered at cost and are fully customisable to you. This enables you to have as much independence as you desire, while still having the reassurance that care is available to you 24/7. 

We offer 4 different packages for different care levels:

• Initial Care:

For those who require some help and don’t have extensive and complex medical requirements. 

• Moderate Care:

For residents who need more than what Initial Care provides but do not require all that High Care entails.

• High Care:

For those who require assistance at several points throughout the day with a number of different tasks, and tend to need help with mobility.

• Extra High Care:

For residents require attention to ensure their needs are met and are comfortable. Dementia and palliative care is also available.

At Odyssey, our care packages are compatible with government-funded care packages, including the Commonwealth Home Support Program and Home Care Packages. Our 24/7 onsite team is happy to work with your current care providers to ensure you are comfortable with staff that knows and loves you. We also have a Registered Nurse in attendance on every shift to provide clinical peace of mind.

Our community

One of the best benefits of living in Odyssey is our residents. It is amazing to see and be a part of an uplifting, caring community!

We hold several events and activities for our residents to have fun with each other and other people in the community. From opening our ‘Wazza’s Shed’ to our Little Scholars visits, our dedicated Lifestyle Coordinator assures there’s never a dull moment at Odyssey.
