Features
Modern renovations bring new life to this established home, which offers the perfect environment for our residents to enjoy quiet time or take part in some of the many social and lifestyle activities. Family and friends are encouraged to visit loved ones and join us for our regular lifestyle events and entertainment. A library provides comfortable seating with a wide range of books, while a pool room contains a pool table and a small selection of exercise equipment. Visitor parking is also available. Bright and spacious living areas combine with private courtyards and beautifully maintained gardens to create a home that is secure, tranquil and comfortable.
Additional care
Well-balanced and nutritious meals are freshly prepared and cooked on site under the supervision of our professional chefs. A wide variety of health and wellbeing programs, designed by qualified coordinators, are tailored to each resident’s personal needs. Allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and podiatrists are part of our support team, and hairdressers are on site as required. Pastoral care is also available. Importantly, we offer exceptional levels of care and service. Our staff are on call 24 hours a day to help out where required or just to share a quiet chat.
Common areas
A large and bright common room is where our community gathers for events, to share time with friends or relax with a movie. Two other lounge areas provide residents with opportunities to watch television in a more intimate space or to entertain their family and friends. A separate large dining area, complete with fireplace, flat screen television, organ and piano, features classic décor and comfortable seating. Walking paths lead through our beautifully maintained gardens. And two courtyards provide serene space with ample shaded seating – perfect for quiet contemplation or an afternoon barbecue.
