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 to ensure 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 aged care facility. 

There is a range of spacious and affordable rooms with private or shared ensuite. Each room has:

• Telephone, TV and WiFi connections available
• Built-in cupboards
• Electronically adjustable beds
• Air conditioning

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. 

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.

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. These include animal therapy, music therapy, art therapy, crafts, visiting entertainers, discussion groups with our Chaplain, special celebrations, gardening and collaborations and projects with local schools and community groups. We also hold regular exercise sessions.

Residents can enjoy outings in our Centre bus and quiet time in our communal area with books and activities. We also have an onsite hairdressing salon, lawn bowl and recreational room.

Scheduled visits from the local GP and other Allied Health services as needed, including physiotherapist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, optometrist and audiologist. We also have our own onsite 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.
