About us
About us
Living a life full of meaning, relevance and happiness.
The Rembrandt Difference
‘Gezellig’ aptly describes the Rembrandt difference, which comes directly from our Dutch roots and values.
It may be hard to explain and even harder to say but is easy to understand the moment you walk through our doors. At Rembrandt you can sense, see, feel and experience it in everything we do.
Leading Aged Services Australia
Rembrandt Living is a proud member of Aged & Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA), and of Leading Aged Services Australia (LASA), a national association providing advice, services and support for aged service providers, giving a strong and influential voice on issues of national importance. We also have staff certified in the “Positive Approach to Care”, helping our staff to shine a positive light on dementia.
To provide a unique Dutch style of service that enables people to live their best possible lives as they age.
Our Purpose
Our History
Rembrandt Living exists today largely due to the foresight and determination of one woman, Tinie Nieuwenhoven.
In the 1980’s Tinie searched but struggled to find culturally appropriate aged care services in South Australia. What Tinie soon realised was that so many people had found themselves in this difficult situation following the mass European immigration after World War II. Addressing this dilemma became Tinie’s motivating force.
Working alongside a willing group of helpers, Tinie set about establishing a service that would allow people to live together in a community especially designed to support their physical and cultural needs.
Our Guiding Principles
At Rembrandt Living, service delivery to our valued community is founded upon a set of well considered guiding principles.
We feel our principles focus on people and their best interests. They encourage independence, equality and pragmatism. They allow us to focus on showing compassion for our people while celebrating achievements and special occasions.
Offering people an environment and the means to improve their health and happiness by providing quality individual care driven by our guiding principles.
Our Mission
Performance Record
Accreditation is a key component of the aged care regulatory environment established by the Aged Care Act 1997.
Accreditation seeks to assess the quality and care of services delivered by approved providers against the Quality Standards and contributes to improved safety, quality and continuous improvement of services.
We have an unblemished record in relation to retaining our Accreditation Status with the Australian Government Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission across both our residential and home care services.
A new Star Rating System was introduced in December 2022 for residential care. This is based on 4 categories, these categories and their weightings are:
- Residents’ Experience – weighting 33%
- Service Compliance with Accreditation – weighting 30%
- Care Minutes – weighting 22%
- Quality Indicator Program
We are pleased to advise that our residential services currently have a 4 star rating.
