Unleashing the Power
of Art.
Benevolent Living's new community is centred around the arts in its many forms. The positive impact of art and culture on psychosocial well-being, and the evidence supporting art related activities in healthcare is persuasive and validated. Art and culture cannot make disease go away, however, there is strong evidence of its effect on healing, pain management, improved socialisation, prolonged cognitive function, as well as creating happiness and joy for all. We have incorporated a stimulating arts theme to our events and activities to keep residents and members of our community active and engaged in meaningful activity.
Our Social Lifestyle Model
A social lifestyle model focuses on the continuation of a normal life and staying connected to your families, friends and the community. Our Health and Wellness Program incorporates Lifestyle Activities with a specific focus on social connections, spirituality and inclusiveness.
We have already introduced several initiatives to promote intergenerational activity. We are the first regional aged care provider in Queensland to host an Ageless Play Playgroup, in partnership with Playgroup QLD. The community has also embedded a local music school within the facility, where small groups of residents can join lessons with students. We also have spaces that transform into areas for performance ensembles to play for residents
