The Videri Australia Home Environment

Unlike traditional aged care facilities, our Videri homes are real homes. They are warm, welcoming places nestled in local neighbourhoods. We carefully curate the group of people in each home considering each individual’s stories and passions, creating real connections in spaces they find familiar and comforting.

Our Videri home environments foster warmth, dignity and a true sense of home within the community.

Feels Like Home

Our homes are embedded in local communities with every effort made to create a place that truly feels like home. Recognisable and welcoming surroundings can ease cognitive challenges.

Power of Normal

Familiar, normal indoor and outdoor spaces, along with the comforting smells and sounds of home can significantly reduce the anxiety often caused by unfamiliar care environments.

Honouring Individuality

We support each person’s individual routine and likes/dislikes, not just as a care strategy but as a way to help you continue to live your vibrant life, just the way you’d like it.

The Videri Standard

Our homes are built not just to meet but exceed all Australian standards, so you can feel confident they’re not just beautiful, but safe and built to last, with best-practice dementia-friendly design.

Better Health Outcomes

Medical and Sector experts have recognised the ‘small household model’ as the best option for the future of aged care, referencing improved quality of life for people living with dementia.

High-touch Support

Each home has a consistent team of dedicated professionals who get to know each family well over time, building a lasting trust with the residents, their families and clinicians alike.

“This has given my Mum the dignity she deserves, @grouphomesaustralia has been a lifesaver.”
