Anglicare Dorothy Boyt House

Dorothy Boyt House is located in the beachside suburb of Malabar. A well-established home, Dorothy Boyt House originally opened in 1973 but has since been completely rebuilt and is now home to a friendly community of 62 residents. The outdoor spaces on the top level have views overlooking the beach and surrounding greenery.

Constructed over two levels, person-centred care is at the forefront of this home’s design with private en suite bathrooms, in top level rooms, care within dedicated groups and open-plan spaces. The village bus is available for outings and shopping trips for residents to maintain their independence.

Your care experience at Anglicare is designed to be as unique as you are. Your independence, routines, and preferences matter, and your story shapes the care and support you receive. We’re here to walk alongside you, ensuring your care is truly personal to you.

That’s why we created Rhythm of Life® - our model for person-centred care. This unique program is guided by eight principles designed to support your choices, enrich your quality of life and empower you to live the way you want.
