Our Northern Beaches homes

Our homes in Forestville and Warriewood on the Northern Beaches are in peaceful streets with a strong sense of local community.

Doing Dementia Differently: Northern Beaches Dementia Care

Sydney’s Northern Beaches is a coastal region that captures the essence of relaxed, sun-soaked living. Stretching from Manly to Palm Beach, this stunning part of Sydney is famed for its pristine beaches, oceanfront walks, and laid-back lifestyle. The area is dotted with vibrant surf culture, leafy residential streets, and excellent schools, making it a popular choice for families and sea-changers alike. With coastal reserves, national parks, and a slower, breezier pace of life, the Northern Beaches provides a rare balance of lifestyle and liveability – all within commuting distance of the city.

The Videri Australia model is firmly built on the belief that people should thrive in a home environment, receiving care of the highest standard. Traditional and beautiful homes, on traditional suburban streets around Sydney, where 6 to 10 residents live together. Residents have 24-hour support including dementia care, palliative and respite care, which is provided by a team of carers that we call Homemakers.

Please contact us to discuss your specific dementia care needs in the Northern Beaches with our team.

Videri Alameda, Warriewood

Alameda Way is a peaceful, tree-lined street in Warriewood, mostly with spacious family homes. Our recently renovated Alameda home is one of our legacy homes, and one of two homes in our group with its own swimming pool. This comes in handy given many of the residents have grown up in the area where swimming at the local beaches and pools have been a part of their day-to-day.

Videri Woodlands, Forestville

Woodlands Road in Forestville is a tranquil residential street characterized by its leafy surroundings and well-maintained homes. The area provides a serene suburban setting with easy access to local schools, parks, and public transport. The residents in our Woodlands home take many trips to the national park and the beach with our driver, and enjoy a lot of outdoor exercise.

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.
“My mother attended the Northern Beaches Group Home for 9 months. It was absolutely wonderful. The staff, her room, the homeliness, 24/7 care, animals, garden, etc. She spent her last days there and was fantastically attended to. We can only say that our experience with Group Homes was the exact care we wanted but didn’t think existed. It did and we were so relieved and happy. Northern Beaches”

Helpful reading, when you're ready

Take a moment. When you feel ready, we’ve gathered thoughtful notes and real answers to questions we’re often asked, designed to support you through each step.

The Northern Beaches is a strong and vibrant community, and sense of community is core to the philosophy of our Videri Australia homes.

Feeling part of a community, being greeted by people who recognise you, feeling like you belong – these are common human needs. The Northern Beaches is knowns for its long-standing, established community of residents who look after each other. The communities around our Northern Beaches Videri homes are no exception.

We believe care should empower people living with dementia to continue to lead meaningful and purposeful lives. In the Northern Beaches our homes foster a sense of belonging and connection, unlike larger aged care homes. Our compassionate Homemakers provide personalised care that celebrates individuality, helping residents feel valued while supporting their unique needs.

Being based on the Northern Beaches means our residents and their families benefit from the area’s wonderful lifestyle. Walks and swims at the beach and in the nearby parks and bushland, are wonderful ways to continue to create cherished moments. Our focus is on supporting residents to live life their way.

We offer 24/7 around the clock assistance with daily living, complex care, short term restorative care, complex care, respite care, permanent care or support at later stages including palliative care. We take pride in creating homes where meaningful moments are celebrated every day, no matter where our residents are in their journey.

There are a large number of 40+ room residential aged care providers that have secure dementia specific wards and/or Memory Support Units in the Northern Beaches. Videri Australia is the only private small household model in the Northern Beaches for between 6-10 residents living with dementia, offering 24/7 care and the highest standard of dementia care expertise.

This is the best way to understand how we do dementia differently in our homes. We also recommend visiting a couple of other Northern Beaches residential aged care providers so that you can compare the environments and the dementia expertise at their facilities. To organise a tour of our Northern Beaches homes, simply call us on 1300 015 406 or send us a Care Enquiry to arrange a time that suits you.
Not all of our homes have waitlists. The success of our home environments rests heavily on the curation of a resident cohort that is matched based on shared likes and commonality. When a room becomes available, we don’t just fill it with the next person on the list. We are always interested to meet new people, to understand their life story and interests, and to see who the best new fit for the home might be. If you’d like to know more about how we do this, simply call us on 1300 015 406 or send us a Care Enquiry and one of our team members will call you back.
