Anglicare Mildred Symons House

Mildred Symons House is located in the Sutherland Shire suburb of Jannali, close to parks and waterways. A well-established home, Mildred Symons House originally opened in 1978 but has since been completely rebuilt and is now home to a friendly community of 127 residents. Situated within a peaceful residential area, it is close to shops, cafes and transport.

Constructed over three levels, person-centred care is at the forefront of this home’s design with private en suite bathrooms, care within dedicated groups, dementia-friendly spaces and respite and palliative care. Each of the floors incorporates open-plan spaces and the courtyards contain chickens, rabbits and birds for the residents to enjoy.

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.
