Retirement Living

Brightwater operates one retirement village, Kingsway Court, in Madeley.

Kingsway Court is a vibrant community that has 168 independent homes, a community centre, indoor heated pool and spa, gymnasium, library, computer room, outdoor bowling green, BBQ area and play equipment.

Creating community

In 2020/21 we hosted a number of events and concerts for our residents including Opera on the Green, a special Seniors Week event, Christmas carols, a concert by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and a visit from the Elvis Experience.

We also introduced a special events meal delivery service to our residents on special days like Mother’s Day and also offered ready-made meals to residents through Brightwater’s catering service.

The community centre also received a makeover in 2020/21 with new dining and lounge chairs, creating a more contemporary look.

Looking after the community

As always, the wellbeing of our residents at Kingsway Court was a key focus again this year. We hosted our annual influenza clinic on site, hosted a Brightwater at Home information session and morning tea, and re-launched the visiting GP and podiatry service.

We also introduced a reflexologist service to residents, water aerobics and a 10-week exercise program.

COVID-19 continued to have us reimagining the norm. To accommodate social distancing, our dining events took place twice a week, instead of once a week, to ensure all residents had the opportunity to enjoy a casual or catered meal safely in our clubroom. We also provided masks to residents when they were mandatory in Western Australia.
