Burrangiri Aged Care and Respite Centre

Extra care, when you need it most. Burrangiri Aged Care Respite Centre is an ACT Health site operated by The Salvation Army Aged Care, specialising in providing respite (short-term) care for older Australians. The overnight respite centre allows carers to take a break or do other tasks, while the person being cared for can enjoy a change of scene in a supportive, friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Carers and nurses are available 24/7 for personal care and nursing support. There is also a Day Centre, offering a variety of lifestyle activities, designed to bring some fun and support the individual health and wellbeing of each client. The Day Centre is open Monday-Friday 9am-3pm.

Specialising in restorative experiences for older Australians, Burrangiri offers a place to stay as a short-term break, a longer-term stay or other programs as support when needed most. Clients can join for just a few hours or stay for up to 3 weeks, with a flexible, holistic and personalised model of care.

All meals are prepared onsite and provided throughout the day, catering to dietary and cultural requirements. There is also an array of amenities available including a sunroom, library and hairdressing salon. For longer stays, all rooms are fully furnished and have been designed with comfort and security in mind with convenient and easy access to all parts of the Centre.

There are beautiful gardens lovingly maintained by the Centre's Maintenance team and clients with expert green thumbs in the gardening club.

Burrangiri is convenient to access with public transport and is only a 5-minute drive away from the Cooleman Court Shopping Centre and 15 minutes from Canberra Central. Local shops are also right opposite the Centre should anyone need supplies during their stay.

An ACAT assessment is not necessary to access care services at Burrangiri. However, if you require an ACAT assessment, Burrangiri and The Salvation Army Aged Care's customer service team can assist with arranging this onsite and they are also happy to answer any questions you may have.
