Northern Gardens

Northern Gardens is a family oriented home for the aged where our residents are our sole focus. We pride ourselves on this small home-like environment served by a team of dedicated staff who deliver high quality, individualised care.

At Northern Gardens, it is our aim to promote the autonomy of all residents in order to preserve the dignity, purpose and meaning in their lives. Accordingly, we provide facilities and support which maintains our residents' links with the community.

We are committed to all encompassing care, however we find that it is ‘the little things’ we do which create the personal, home-like feel for our residents.
