Each staff member has undergone reference and security checks to ensure they are fully qualified, experienced and are passionate about working in the aged care sector. Our staff undergo ongoing training as well to make sure they are up to speed with the latest processes and knowledge. Emotional intelligence and sensitivity to diversity are other key factors that we take into consideration when recruiting staff into our Centre community.

Our rooms have been designed for residents’ comfort, security and sense of belonging. We offer a range of single rooms with private and shared bathrooms; however, all rooms have their own vanity for that extra bit of privacy. Residents also enjoy sunny, external views.

Other features include:

• 24-hour emergency call system
• Telephone and TV connections are available
• Courtyard views
• Built-in cupboards
• Electronically adjustable beds

This is your home, you are most welcome to bring in your own favourite items - photos, mementos and accessories to dress the room to your own taste and preferences. *

*All items must meet the Centre's work, health and safety guidelines. 

We take fun quite seriously! The Centre has a dedicated Lifestyle team that organises daily activities based on the suggestions of residents via resident meetings, including regular outings, animal and music therapy, regular visiting entertainers, celebrations, games, gardening, collaborations and community projects with volunteer groups and many more.

• Centre bus for resident outings and trips

• Recreational room for individual and/or group activities

Meals are cooked daily onsite by a qualified chef in consultation with the dietitian. The menu is regularly rotated to promote choice and take advantage of what is in season. Each meal has a selection of high protein, vegetarian and modified options. We also cater for special dietary and cultural requirements. 

Nutrition programs can also be organised as required.

Scheduled visits from the local GP and other Allied Health services as needed, including occupational therapy, optometrist, speech therapist and physiotherapist.

We have a holistic model of care. The Centre Chaplains play an important role in bringing this to life. We also have a chapel onsite. Whatever your beliefs, our Chaplains are here to assist in your spiritual and emotional journey, if you wish - because we don't have clients, only family.
