Viewlands House

My father was at Viewlands House until May 2017. He was extremely well cared for, with a lovely big sunny room. Always treated with dignity. He had vascular dementia. My mother has now gone to Viewlands - went in April. She also has vascular dementia. We, as a family, are extremely grateful for the patience and loving care being shown to her. We have personally seen how dire other homes in the area can be. Would thoroughly recommend this home.

The staff at Viewlands House in Perth have simply transformed both my parents’ late years. The staff team provide an amazing blend of what is required: everyday clinical, professional, practical help, in context of what makes up the invisible but vital ingredients of relational, emotional, social support. Even my very independently-minded mother now says, ‘this is home.’ Simply stand in the bright, sparkling clean hallway; see fresh flowers; hear laughter. It's a good place.

The staff really understand how to support individuals and maintain respect for their dignity and right to choices. The staff somehow see through what I might assume as a ‘failings’ instead, they play to the strengths, however, limited, of the older person. The range of social events, trips and visits brings community into Viewlands; as well as Viewlands being a community itself. I have learned much from the staff about what care really means. As a family, we are always welcomed, consulted, listened to.
