A western Sydney aged care facility working to break the monotony of life in care has invited two drag queens to live among the residents.

Tacky (Liam Benson) and Paris (Naomi Oliver) are the Motel Sisters in Care, a four-week artist-in-residence program at the Abel Tasman Village in Chester Hill.

"We set up a high-class luxury day spa, we've done room makeovers, we've done an amazing high tea," Paris said.

"We've done an adventure walk where residents had to help us find items that we'd lost on a big night out."

Designed by non-profit art and community organisation Information and Cultural Exchange, the residency also includes Zumba classes, aromatherapy, nail sessions and lots of tea — all intended to brighten the lives of those in care.

"This whole project is about quality of life," Paris said.

"It's about taking the extraordinary and putting it in to our everyday," Tacky added.

False eyelashes and killer heels

The project began in late July, when the sisters moved their killer heels, false eyelashes and wigs into the facility — a transfer they took with caution.

"There was some caution taken right from the beginning because we were sensitive to people's needs and also people's perception," Tacky said.

"We understand that popping a couple of drag queens into your everyday environment for some people can be a little bit discombobulating."

But within days, the duo said they'd been welcomed by the community.

Despite obvious acceptance of the artists, Paris said the queens quickly identified their fans.

"We've got Naomi who has made us scarves," she said.

"She's made scarves for at least 190 people, and I'm not exaggerating. She's got a crumpled piece of paper with everyone's name on it, but she bumped us being celebs."

Resident Naomi Raju admitted she's a big fan of the duo.

"They gave me two cushions — one sparkly one, one satin one, and a picture of cats.

"They've been so kind to me, I can never pay them back for their kindness."

Colin Fenwick has only lived at the Abel Tasman Village for as long as the sisters but said he'd already noticed a change in attitudes.

"They've added a breath of life to the place, I guess you could say.

"It adds a new dimension to living."

Improving resident health

Aside from friendships, the village's clinical manger, Sophia Markwell, said the queens had improved the health of residents.

"We usually have or geriatrician or GP come in and do regular medical changes or monitoring, but we haven't had to have that many medication reviews," she said.

And despite the 50-year age gap between the performers and the residents, the socialites said they fitted right in.

"We have to sit down at the end of the night, like everyone else here, and put our feet in Radox," Paris said.

"We are a little older now — it takes longer to get over a hangover, we're more than happy to have a cup of tea, so it's actually been quite comfortable for us."
