At Prestige, we know there’s no place like home. In this short video Prestige staff members share what they love about their homes and why it’s important to them.

Thea McCroary, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, says: “I’m from a big family, so I love a home with life and character and memories. It’s where I go to unwind and feel happiest.”

Kristal Dubois, Planning and Support Manager, says: “My own home is laughter and the little bits of naughtiness that comes with having a household full of boys. But the laughter and that cheekiness, and that warmth and fun, and that’s what we deliver in Prestige.”

At Prestige, our purpose is to make lives better by helping people remain in the comfort of their own homes. We’re committed to providing first-class care to help you keep your independence. In the early years of his career whilst working as a nurse our CEO, Nick McDonald, discovered how much more rewarding it was to provide one-on-one care to people in their own homes compared to residential aged care. He came to understand why many people choose to stay in their own homes for as long as possible.

 Looking after one person at a time gives both carer and client a chance to build-up connection and engagement. Nick points out: “I really saw the difference you could make with people who were trying to remain independent in their own homes.

“But I think the memories are an active part of it. We created a tremendous amount of memories at their homes and many of those memories are anchored to the bricks and mortar.”

Recent research from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety has shown that about 75 per cent of Australians, of all ages, want to remain in their own home for as long as possible. The research also reveals that people are willing to receive assistance so they can remain independent.

At Prestige, we work closely with you and your loved one to tailor a support programme meet your individual needs so you can continue to do what you love at home.
