Aged Care Home's description:

Charles Brownlow Village is located in Highton only 15 minutes from the heart of Geelong. This close-knit community makes this village a pretty special place to live. The levels of aged care we provide include residential aged care (low care and high care), specialist dementia care, and respite care.
We offer light and spacious private rooms and ensuites that include air conditioning. Our award-winning myRyman Care app is installed on a device in every room, enabling nurses and carers to access clinical data and record daily care tasks. We know that food is very important, so we offer a variety of freshly cooked chef-made meals every day. Our Call bells are monitored 24/7 with a Registered nurse always on duty. Our staff ratios are some of the highest in the aged-care sector and we have staff who specialise in dementia care. Our care centre is easy-to-navigate and includes tranquil and secure outdoor areas.
