Bethesda Aged Care Centre

Bethesda Aged Care Centre provides a homely and supportive environment for older Australians in Rockhampton. Helmed by an experienced and dedicated team, the Centre works towards creating a strong sense of community, with care and programs that are shaped by you.

Designed with your comfort in mind, the Centre is a single-storey home providing convenient access to all amenities and rooms. There is plenty of natural light throughout and a range of affordable room options, each with a 24-hour emergency call bell system. The Centre is surrounded by tropical North Queensland greenery and has its own beautiful leafy gardens and water fountain. It is conveniently located, just a few kilometres from the Rockhampton city centre. You can enjoy the indoor and outdoor communal areas and a birds-eye view of the city. 

A professional and friendly team of clinical and lifestyle experts strives to meet your individual needs and preferences and ensure you feel at home. A Salvation Army Chaplain is on site, who can provide pastoral and spiritual care, if desired. 

Food is prepared onsite using fresh produce by an experienced catering team. Each menu is developed in regular discussion with residents and a dietitian.

All of the staff at Bethesda take the time to get to know the people in their care, caring for them like family. Family and friends are important to the Bethesda community, and the team is always available to have a chat, receive feedback or address any queries.
