What we offer

We value and promote our residents’ privacy, freedom of choice and confidence. As a tight-knit team, we aim to provide an experience that supports each person to live the best life they can. We do this by creating an environment that promotes the interests of each resident. For example, some activities that we facilitate include weekly bus trips, lawn bowls, cooking & the intergenerational program with school aged children. Residents are also encouraged to decorate their rooms with belongings and mementos to make it feel more like home.

We actively promote meaningful partnerships with our families and friends, believing that by everyone contributing, everyone belongs. We host regular monthly informal meetings, inviting residents' families to join us for afternoon tea, general discussions, and a chance to connect. Additionally, we hold biannual events where families can come together for a meal, games, and friendly conversation.

Staffed by highly skilled professionals who believe it is a privilege to care for others, you can be assured your care is delivered with the upmost respect and dignity that you deserve.

Our philosophy is to ensure and enable all residents to live their life with dignity and comfort whilst encouraging them to pursue their own concept of a joyful and fulfilling life.
