Older Adults Compassionate aged care and health assessments for older adults

At Aloura Family Practice, we are proud to care for the older adults in our community and provide personalised aged care tailored to each individual’s needs. Conveniently located near Aegis Aged Care, Jacaranda Gardens Retirement Living, and Joseph Banks Aged Care Facility, our clinic supports both independent seniors and residents of local aged care facilities.

We understand that maintaining health, independence, and comfort is essential as you age. Our doctors and nurses offer compassionate, coordinated aged care to help you stay well and supported at every stage of later life.

  • Aged care assessments are performed in practice or at home by our senior nursing team
  • Driving medical assessments for patients aged over 80
  • Immunisations, including annual influenza and shingles vaccines
  • GP Chronic Condition Management Plans for long-term health conditions
  • Mental health support and counselling
  • Cognitive assessments for memory and concentration concerns

With on-site pathology services, we can also arrange home sample collection when required, ensuring continuity and comfort in your healthcare.

Supporting Your Independence

Our aged care assessment process focuses on maintaining your independence and quality of life. Your GP and nurse will take the time to understand your health goals, review medications and discuss options for ongoing care. Where appropriate, we can coordinate referrals to allied health professionals or community services to support you at home.

A Compassionate, Team-Based Approach

Quality aged care goes beyond medical treatment. It’s about listening, understanding and helping you make informed decisions about your wellbeing. Our doctors work closely with families, caregivers and local aged care services to ensure your care is seamless and compassionate.
