The Centre is located closeby to pristine parklands and we have a range of our own outdoor seating areas with spacious landscaped gardens for our residents to enjoy. All rooms have a view of our gardens with large windows for plenty of natural light.

Our Centre is homely whilst also incorporating the most up to date design for residential aged care, including our newly refurbished dining room based on resident input, wide corridors and high ceilings. We also have our own café located onsite. Conveniently located, we are close to public transport, the Arndale shopping centre and other local services.

We have close ties with the local community, and over time, we have built a credible reputation as an organisation that genuinely cares for others in need without discrimination.
