At Midway Care Centre we consciously aim to assist our residents to experience quality of life. Accordingly, all our staff (even the domestic employees), are trained to observe our residents constantly and meet their specific needs.

In our opinion medication does not keep these angels happy, lots of love and attention and a warm and friendly environment ensures that they thrive and really enjoy their life.

We believe that quality of life is defined primarily by the person, as a person, and their circumstances, not their affliction.

We focus on the research defined key quality of life indicators and findings to ensure that we assist our residents to improve and continue experiencing quality of life. These indicators include:

1. Relationships or someone to talk to
2. Environment
3. Physical health
4. Sense of humour
5. Independence
6. Ability to communicate
7. Sense of personal identity
8. Ability or opportunity to engage in activities
9. Ability to practise faith or religion
10. Experience of stigma
