Our staff and management team are able to assist you with understanding your options to enable you to make the best choice for you and your family.

Our aim is to ensure that each resident maintains an enjoyable lifestyle by providing choice, options, flexibility and by consulting with residents about their new home environment. We pride ourselves on providing a loving, home like environment in which residents are welcome, safe and supported.

Each resident has their own care plan which is developed in conjunction with the resident and their family. This ensures all needs are met in a way that suits them.

Our caring nursing staff include Registered Nurses Division 1 and Enrolled Nurses as well as qualified Personal Care Attendants. Our approach to planning care includes involving the resident's choice of Doctor, nursing staff and other specialist healthcare providers such as physiotherapist, podiatrist, dietician, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and diversional therapists. Residents can be assured of receiving supportive personal care, social and emotional support and health management that suits their individual needs.
