Anglicare Jean Ross House

Jean Ross House is located on the NSW South Coast in the suburb of Nowra. A well-established home, Jean Ross House is a friendly community of 60 residents. The beautifully landscaped gardens create many peaceful areas for residents to sit and stroll.

Person-centred care is at the forefront of this home’s design with dedicated wings and care staff as well as spaces for extensive activities and programs. Each of the rooms looks out onto one of the courtyards or gardens to create a home-like environment.

Jean Ross House has a dedicated lifestyle team to provide regular activities for residents. This team also facilitates our Rhythm of Life® program, giving residents a choice in how they spend their day from meals to activities, outings and more.
