Anglicare Piper House

Piper House is located within Anglicare’s St Lukes retirement living village in the Illawarra suburb of Dapto. Now open, this brand-new residential aged care offers a home to 111 residents in private rooms with en suite bathrooms.

Person-centred care is at the forefront of this home’s design with private en suite bathrooms and care within dedicated groups and spaces. The rural setting of this home creates a quiet and relaxed atmosphere for all residents. Piper House has a dedicated lifestyle team to provide regular activities for residents.
