Vi Nguyen
Welcome to Gladswood Lodge
Vi is the Residential Manager at Gladswood Lodge in Brunswick West. Her role is to ensure our residents receive the best care clinically and emotionally in a homelike environment.
When asked what she loves about working in aged care, Vi says that it simply does not feel like work because she is always home. She says Gladswood Lodge has the feel of one big family where everyone is supported and their choices are respected.
‘We are a small and unique community where everyone gets to know each other and form close-knit friendships to support one another. I like to think that if every person is a book, working in aged care is like being at the most prestigious library – where we get to meet and learn valuable lessons about life from our senior Australians.’
Vi believes life, like fine wine, gets better with age!
Life at Gladswood Lodge
What are the meals like at Gladswood Lodge?
At Benetas Gladswood Lodge we are proud of the delicious, healthy meals we prepare for residents and their guests. Cooks work closely with nutritionists and dietitians to ensure all meals prepared fulfil nutrition requirements.
We use fresh produce in all our kitchens and cater to cultural and religious requirements, and aim to please all individual tastes. Benetas Gladswood Lodge holds regular ‘food forums’ for residents and kitchen staff to discuss new ideas for the menus.
What is the lifestyle like at Gladswood Lodge?
With room for 51 residents, Gladswood Lodge is the perfect place for meeting new people and establishing friendships. We have close links with local community groups, churches (of many different faiths) and welcome them into Gladswood Lodge on a regular basis – to provide entertainment or spiritual support.
Volunteers assist the staff in arranging outings and activities for residents outside the facility so they can maintain their relationships and links to their community.
Staff and volunteers
We encourage our staff and volunteers to bring a pastoral sensibility to their roles, to listen to and be truly present to our residents. Our specialist team of non-denominational Pastoral Care Practitioners provide individualised and ongoing spiritual and emotional support.
In addition, through our Lifestyle Program, denominational visitors and volunteer companions foster an ongoing connection with our residents’ chosen faith tradition and provide church and chaplaincy services.
"All the staff at Gladswood are incredible. My mother could not be in better hands".
