Diabetes And Special Needs

Care Options

For those living with Diabetes, the sweetest thing is a little understanding.

Living with Diabetes can be challenging at the best of times, but when your loved one requires the care and support of assisted living, specialised care becomes even more important.

Our highly trained staff and facilities are trained and equipped for such support. From tailored dietary requirements to medical assistance and medication administration, at Edenfield, we care for those suffering from diabetes.

Upon joining the Edenfield family, each resident is given a comprehensive Nursing assessment to determine your loved ones current diabetic status. Following this, Edenfield Staff, in consultation with our in-house Doctor, will establish a unique care plan to ensure comprehensive and timely diabetic support is delivered.

Edenfield Family Care also specialises in catering for dietary requirements of all kinds. With all meals prepared, in-house, by a team of talented cooks and chefs, delicious nutrition plans can be uniquely tailored to your loved ones needs.

Throughout your loved one’s residence, our caring staff will monitor the status of your loved one’s diabetes with regular and routine Blood Glucose Monitoring. In the event that your loved one might experience any diabetic emergency such as Hypoglycaemia or Hyperglycaemic-ketoacidosis, Edenfield Care Clinical Staff are always close at hand to ensure assistance and support is administered.

Edenfield Family Care has a comprehensive exercise and activity program overseen by Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists to assist, maintain or improve your loved one’s independence and diabetic control.

Testimonials

I wish to thank Edenfield for the extra work they did in looking after my wife during her recent bladder and bed sore problems, As well as taking measure to fix the issues Nurse also constantly monitored her condition until the problem was solved. Also introduced a new method of treating the bed sore which has been more successful than the previous method of treating it. Again Nurse is constantly monitoring the condition and giving me really good advice about managing the problem, I have been grateful for her weekly reviews and advice.

Thanks to the lifestyle staff Thanks go to Daisy and the lifestyle staff and volunteers for making Valentines Day both useful and entertaining. The morning exercise program was fun with fitness (despite my muscles make me aware of using them the following day) This told me I must attend more similar sessions. The afternoon concert was really good – made better by the dancing and singing display given by staff and volunteer which again made it a great fun event All together

I would like to thank the kitchen for providing the usual tasty meals over the Easter and Anzac day holiday periods. Especially pleasing were the homemade salmon patties which replaced the usual shop bought ones. They were really delicious and hopefully the change may be permanent the alternative choices of salads or sandwiches remain extremely high quality and give residents a wider variety of foods to consider.

I would like to thank the 2 carers on Saturday morning and the two carers on Sunday they were so good with my Mum so much appreciated.
