| The Juliana Village was officially opened
in 1980, born out of the determination of Mr Johan Logeman
who foresaw the needs of the ageing Dutch migrants. After
many years of fundraising, countless donations and seeking
professional advice and guidance, the village was
established as a not-for-profit benevolent institution. It has always been and remains the aim of the Village, to offer stability, security, opportunity for individual independence, companionship and tolerance of all nationalities. In 1983, Logeman Court, comprising 29 self-care units, was opened - completing the development of the Village to 40 hostel and 54 self-care units. The Village grounds boast year round floral displays in the surrounding gardens, occasional seating along the meandering pathways throughout the Village and some car parking spaces on site. Hostel and self-care units There are one and two bedroom self-care units each with a north-facing balcony, a kitchenette and bathroom with adequate space for laundry items. All units are fitted with at least two 24 hour emergency buttons. The hostel apartments vary in size between 28 and 41 squire metres and comprise a bedsitter, spacious bathroom and kitchenette with some two bedroom units suitable for couples. All hostel units are in close proximity to the dining rooms and personal carer's office, and experienced staff are on call 24 hours. Hostel units are provided with personal care, cleaning, laundry, provision of meals, activities and respite services. Prospective residents need to be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team before being eligible for accredited hostel care accommodation. Services Within 500 m of the Village, residents have access to a state the art hospital, medical and specialist services, the Miranda Westfield Shopping Complex, railway station, taxi rank and bus stops. On-site facilities include a library, with English and Dutch reading material, maintained by residents; a hairdresser; a 'shoppe' run by residents; a recreation room - used for meetings, exercises, coffee mornings, video screenings, games and Foxtel. Bus outings and craft classes are organised and participation is encouraged as is companionship and interests and hobbies. The residents of the Village organise their own committee to oversee activities such as the yearly market day, birthday and anniversary celebrations, excursions and meetings. The practice of a 'buddy' system is an on-going consideration for both hostel and self-care residents. Further information regarding the waiting list, contracts and services provided can be obtained by contacting the office during office hours or enquire via the email enquiry below. OUR AIM IS FOR EVERYONE'S HAPPINESS. |
