When you enter Chomley House's recently renovated and extended premises you are immediately struck by a vitality and energy not normally associated with an Aged Care Home.

Owners Kendra and Bill Templer and Facility Manager Margaret Zarkadas are passionate about the care they provide. It is clear that they put everything into creating a home where residents can enjoy their retirement years. It is obvious that the residents appreciate all the personal attention delivered from all the staff.

The renovations and extension have given Kendra and Bill the opportunity to decorate the home tastefully and comfortably, all rooms are private with ensuite, and contain hydronic heating allowing each resident to personally adjust the heating to their own comfort. Air-conditioned central and main areas along with lots of open space and natural light throughout the building, makes the atmosphere feel very homely and inviting.

Chomley House has attained a Three Year Accreditation every time. The modern hairdressing salon is utilised weekly by visiting podiatrist, physiotherapist and doctor of your own choice to continue your care. An enthusiastic activities Officer organises many and varied activities tailored to suit individual residents.

"Menu is very important," says Kendra "we go out of our way to include meals that the residents request to be included on the menu. Our food service is extremely important because we understand that this can be the highlight of the resident's day, when a fine and appetising meal is presented on the table. Those that wish can have a glass of wine at the table. The weekly happy hour becomes a social event.

"The staff are selected for their kind and caring manner. When family visit they feel very included and are made to feel welcome. Margaret has encouraged a strong team focus within the home, and has implemented in-house group exercise classes with our own personal trainer Jason, who is a handsome young Italian man whom the ladies of Chomley love."
