Macquarie Lodge Aged Care Centre

Macquarie Lodge Aged Care Centre provides a broad spectrum of aged care services, including permanent care, respite (short-term) care, palliative care and specialised dementia care. The Centre prides itself on creating a welcoming atmosphere and an active lifestyle as much as possible for those in their care. You can feel the support from the dedicated, expert team and friendly sense of community when you step into the Centre.

Macquarie Lodge has been built with residents' comfort, lifestyle and security in mind. The outdoor living area is perfect for residents to enjoy the many events and celebrations at the Centre, relax and enjoy some sunshine or spend time with their family and friends.

The Centre is located near local services and is a short drive to the shopping hubs of Hurstville and Wolli Creek and Brighton-Le-Sands beach.

A dedicated team runs an active Lifestyle program, which includes a variety of wellness, exercise and community activities, to uphold residents' overall health and wellbeing. These programs are also designed for residents to keep pursuing their hobbies and interests, and possibly discover new passions. Dedicated Salvation Army Chaplains are on site, who can provide pastoral and spiritual care, if desired.

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

Family and friends are an important part of the Macquarie Lodge community. The Centre also has close ties with local community organisations, often inviting local schools and entertainers for activities and joining in on community initiatives. 

Macquarie Lodge strives to promote a unique experience of choice, lifestyle and belonging for all people as they age.
