Videri is Doing Dementia Differently in Australia.

We are a social model of care, featuring thoughtfully designed, traditional homes across a range of suburbs in Sydney. Each home has up to 10 residents living together and participating in day-to-day activities, supported with a high standard of 24/7 personal and clinical care provided by our Registered Nurse, Social Workers and Homemakers.
