Group Homes Australia (GHA) was founded in 2012 by Tamar Krebs who had a vision to Do Dementia Differently. Our philosophy revolves around creating small, intimate environments integrated within local communities. Catering for 6-10 residents, our homes exude a warm, friendly atmosphere. Residents receive personal, tailored care and we work tirelessly to ensure that each can cherish life's moments and live well with dementia. Our homes look, smell and feel like a traditional home. Additionally, we provide a warm, engaging environment, where the highest quality of care is provided, and where people feel genuinely at home, supported by professionals who are passionate about what they do. With a high carer-to-resident ratio (averaging 1:3), being under-pinned by best practice clinical care, our specialised approach focuses on getting residents involved in day-to-day life activities that bring them purpose and meaning, including: - Cooking and baking - Exercise and yoga - Helping to hang the laundry - Gardening activities - Shopping outings if desired - Walks around the neighbourhood - Public outings to cafes, art galleries, visit other houses GHA currently has 21 homes in Sydney, on the North Shore, Hills District, Hunters Hill, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches and Sutherland Shire.
