Zion Aged Care
In Australia, the Lutheran Church has been involved in Aged Care since the 1920s - with a philosophy to create an ideal environment for senior residents where they can maintain their independence while enjoying full access to a wide range of support services.
Zion Aged Care is renowned for its professional, friendly and caring environment, evidenced by its high accreditation recognition. Zion Aged Care is a fully accredited aged care facility with strong quality management processes in place to ensure ongoing continuous improvement.
Situated close to rail and bus transport, and a short distance from Toombul Shoppingtown in the inner northern suburbs of Brisbane, Zion Aged Care facilities include 60 Low Care Hostel rooms all with ensuite, and 40 High Care Nursing beds. 20 of the High Care Nursing places are classified as 'Extra Services' for those who have the financial ability to meet the extra fees. They feature tastefully decorated air conditioned rooms with quality furniture and fittings, ensuite, and facilities for telephone connections, Internet access and Foxtel.
The level of therapy and rehabilitative services provided to Extra Services residents are well above those offered in standard nursing home care, and also include Podiatry, Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, Diversional Therapy, Hairdressing and Spa bath. Dining options for these residents are more extensive and to hotel standard.
All residents of Zion - regardless of their accommodation type - receive the same levels of emotional support and a comprehensive range of recreational and social activities in a Caring, Nurturing and Christian environment

Pastoral care at Zion
In response to God's all embracing love for people shown in Jesus Christ, the Pastoral Care Team of Zion Aged Care strives to work with our other health professionals in the provision of holistic care.
It's our desire and privilege to be there when people experience times of great joy, sadness, suffering, or crisis. Our aim is to bring such people a sense of God's presence and love.
Each person has to deal with the challenges, joys and problems of life in their own way. The Pastoral Care Team respects and encourages each person on their own spiritual journey. We offer a listening ear, Christian prayer, worship and Bible Study to the Zion community both residents and staff.
The pastor of St Paul's congregation works together with the chaplains at Zion to provide pastoral care to the whole community.
