The Residential Aged Care Facility is a purpose built building that is able to cater for residents with a wide range of care needs. All rooms are designed for maximum flexibility to enhance independence with inclusions such as removable bathroom rails, wide access doors and call bells in both the room and bathroom as standard. Our residents, who are typically frail and in need of regular assistance and support, are accommodated in either single or double rooms. All rooms have an ensuite.
Understanding & support for residents & their families throughout the entry process
We recognise that the transition to an aged care facility can be a challenging time for both the incoming resident and also for their family and close friends as they adjust to the change. We provide as much support as possible during this time and encourage the involvement of family and friends in the resident’s new lifestyle.
