ABOUT THE FLOWER FOUNDATION

Flower Foundation’s concept was born in 1963 when three extraordinary individuals by the names of Moray Franz, Florrie Richter and Dr Archie Borowitz came together to use their foresight and ingenuity to change the lives of the aged around them. The premise was a simple one that has been in practice in Sweden over time, where people were encouraged to give money towards the elderly in memory of a loved one, instead of giving flowers when they passed away. These monies would be used to provide homes and care to the elderly who were in much need at the time.

OUR CARE

We provide Life-long solutions to our residents which support their needs at every stage of life, including those who require long-term care or specialised Dementia Care. Care Centres are suited to residents who require extra support or 24-hour care as their needs have changed and they are no longer able to live independently. Living in Care, our residents will have our trusted staff to oversee their daily requirements.

LEISURE AND LIFESTYLE

The leisure and lifestyle options available at Flower Foundation Villages are based on the interests and hobbies of those living there. Programs are available at various times of the month, however, residents can decide which activities they choose to participate in, whether it’s joining one of the hobby groups, going on outings to movies, joining an art class or enjoying the daily exercise walks.

TESTIMONIALS

Flower Foundation is one of those rare organisations where staff walk the talk, from those who work in offices to those who work at bedsides. The talk is about caring, and the walk is about doing the caring. I cannot recommend highly enough, the people of the Flower Foundation and in particular the staff at Willowbrook Retirement Village. My father lived at Willowbrook for three years, where he was very happy, safe and extremely well cared for. I live overseas and Willowbrook was the home from home I was sadly unable to provide living so far away.
