Maroba Lodge Hostel is a contemporarily designed 53 bed home where quality of life for residents is a priority.

The ambience of the hostel is inviting and staff are keenly aware of Maroba’s vision and mission to provide individualised care with all residents’ uniqueness and worth being recognised.

All care assistants hold Certificate III in Aged care or equivalent and ongoing education and advancement of skills is encouraged. Our hospitality assistants have certificates in safe food handling practices and all staff receive ongoing training in infection control principles.

At Maroba Lodge Hostel we encourage residents to maintain lifelong friendships and external activities as part of their lifestyle.

Lifestyle Co-ordinators provide a wide range of activities that support the continued enjoyment of life skills including our ‘men’s shed’, ladies beauty therapy, knitting circle, shuffle board, and bingo.  Our special events and bus outings foster community togetherness and friendship.

Independence and quality of life for all residents.

We firmly believe that residents should be able to age in place where possible, however with consideration to residents ongoing safety and welfare, we have a high care facility on site should the need arise.

Maroba Lodge is a home away from home for those elderly residents no longer
able to manage their lifestyle within their family home.

Dementia Services:

Braye Park wing has 12 beds and a state of the art alarm system which monitors all doors and external areas and allows comprehensive coverage of resident’s whereabouts within the wing. Staff receive ongoing training in dementia and there is a consistency of staff for resident comfort and emotional well being.

Respite Services:

Respite services are available in Maroba Lodge Hostel. We encourage older people in the community to avail themselves of these services. This provides a first hand opportunity to experience the hostel lifestyle.

Family involvement is an important aspect of achieving successful care outcomes in both Braye Park wing and the general Hostel.
