AQ’s McNally House is a premium aged care home located in Upper Mount Gravatt, Brisbane South, where cutting-edge design principles are combined with an enviable lifestyle for those requiring high level dementia care and access to our wellness programs.
AQ’s McNally House comprises four levels, three of which are dedicated to residential accommodation, and the fourth to a state-of-the-art gymnasium and wellness centre.
The first three levels of AQ’s McNally House, each of which accommodate up to 13 residents per level, serves a unique purpose, and as such, operates independently. The levels include:
- Ground and Levels 1 & 2 – provide high level care to our residents, offering single or couples accommodation designed to maximise privacy and comfort. Each level houses a fully functioning kitchen, ample relaxation and communal areas, and beautiful outdoor spaces.
- Level 3 – houses a state-of-the-art gymnasium and outdoor area for use by our residents and wellness program participants.
All residential levels of AQ’s McNally House feature an intimate living room within close proximity to all bedrooms. Every living space offers our residents a sense of ownership and personalisation, and their families an opportunity to spend time with/entertain their loved ones. Each level comprises a domestic-style kitchen to encourage residents to participate in food preparation, as part of our lifestyle program, involving cooking and baking activities. Resident meals are both prepared and consumed in the communal kitchen area on each level.
Our bedrooms are spacious and cater for residents with high care needs, including discreet, built-in ceiling mount hoists, German-designed medical beds and nurse call. Each bedroom features screened, louvred windows and doors that spill onto a personal Juliette balcony, offering our residents fresh air and abundant natural light.
Access to AQ’s McNally House is by coded door entry or swipe cards, while all communal areas are equipped with CCTV, allowing our residents to relax and enjoy the comfort of their surrounds, in utmost privacy and safety.
