The lifestyle program
at Fairway
Some things don’t need to change with age.
We love laughter and fun. We love quiet times to reflect together or alone. We love good food and a glass of wine, and music and movement. We love the things we have always loved, and Fairway’s broad range of lifestyle options means we have endless opportunity to discover new passions and interests – with new friends and old.

DAY TRIPS
Cycling Without Age
Fairway is the first aged care facility to introduce Cycling
Without Age which is a community initiative that started in
Copenhagen in 2012.
Fairway was one of the first aged care facilities in Australia to embrace the Cycling Without Age initiative; a chauffeur-ridden cycling service that started in Denmark in 2012.
Residents are encouraged to participate and feel the thrill of the ‘wind in their hair’ as they are pedalled down by the beach. This way, our frail elderly can joyfully reconnect with the Bayside community wherein they lived and raised families. Pilots (volunteer riders) take them on local coastal bike paths; ensuring comfort and safety in the front seat of a custom-built bike. It has been a huge success!
We would like to thank Bayside Council – Inclusive Bayside Partnership Program for their ongoing support and generous grant towards the purchase of our third Cycling Without Age Triobike,
This action-packed, daily schedule of events wouldn’t be possible without our inspirational lifestyle manager. Our team of 40 volunteers and nine staff members work together in support of the Montessori educational philosophy of ‘enablement and connectedness’.

Medical and Nursing
All residents have health issues, either physical, cognitive or a combination of both.
Clinical issues are of vital concern and all residents are closely monitored. The resident’s GP oversees all medical orders in collaboration with nursing staff. Direct care is provided by nurses and personal carers over the 24 hour continuum. Medications, wound care, observations, treatments and nursing interventions are managed with expertise and confidence.
