Situated in the Punchbowl community, St Charbel by Aequra actively supports older people with care that is professional and culturally meaningful. St Charbel has a strong connection to the Middle Eastern community, supported by a multilingual team who speak Arabic along with English.
At St Charbel we understand how important language, food and cultural familiarity are to daily life. That’s why we offer Middle Eastern meal options and create an environment where residents can communicate comfortably and maintain their cultural identity, while receiving high-quality care and support.
Our commitment is to ensure every resident feels connected, respected and at home through meaningful cultural, social and spiritual experiences.
Many of our care and lifestyle activities are led by staff members with a Middle Eastern background. This ensures residents can engage in their preferred language and cultural style. We also engage Arabic-speaking allied health professionals, including dietitians, speech pathologists, audiologists and podiatrists.
We ensure that care is delivered in a culturally appropriate and personalised way. Our menus include authentic Middle Eastern dishes, freshly prepared to suit residents’ tastes and their individual dietary needs.
We strive to create a warm, familiar atmosphere where language, food, customs and care are thoughtfully tailored to each individual’s cultural identity.
It is only through this philosophy of caring for our residents that we can ensure comfort, dignity and a true sense of belonging every day for all our St Charbel residents.
St Charbel Residence is located near the vibrant south-western suburb of Punchbowl. Our residence is easily accessible from the Punchbowl local shopping centre.
