Loreto Nursing Home was established close to Saint Patrick’s Convent, The Strand, the original residence of the Sisters of Mercy in Townsville to accommodate ageing and frail sisters. In the early 1980’s, it was extended to become licensed accommodation for lay women as well as sisters. In 2009, it was rebuilt as a new facility at its present address on Fulham Road, Pimlico. Because of its small size compared with many other aged care facilities, Loreto offers an intimate atmosphere with individualized care.
Loreto offers high care aged care services in an intimate and home-like environment with a focus on individual care to provide the best lifestyles and health outcomes for our residents. Being a small nursing home with single rooms with ensuites adds to the uniqueness and charm of Loreto.
We employ a dedicated team of professional nursing, personal care and therapy staff who create a caring and friendly environment.
Visiting professionals include doctors, dentist, pharmacist, podiatrist, physiotherapist, speech pathologist, occupational therapist, dietician and audiologist. Loreto also enjoys the services of a dedicated Diversional Therapist who facilitates and coordinates a variety of activities in consultation with residents.
A mobile hairdresser and library services are available, along with Yoga, Tai Chi, Music and Pet Therapy.
