Personalised Residential Aged Care at SwanCare Tandara

SwanCare Tandara offers high-quality residential aged care services to seniors from Bentley, Victoria Park, Cannington, Wilson, St James, East Cannington, and the surrounding South East Perth metropolitan area. Located within the vibrant and secure grounds of the SwanCare Bentley Park campus, Tandara is situated just 15 minutes from the Perth CBD. This prime location allows residents to remain an active part of their local community, staying close to friends and family while receiving expert clinical support. As a cornerstone of Western Australia’s largest integrated retirement and aged care site, Tandara provides a welcoming environment that feels like a true extension of home.

A Warm and Welcoming Community Atmosphere

SwanCare Tandara is renowned for its friendly, “family-style” atmosphere. With 78 beds, the facility is designed to feel intimate and manageable, fostering deep connections between residents, their families, and our long-term staff. The layout of Tandara emphasises social inclusion and ease of movement, ensuring that every resident feels comfortable and secure within their surroundings.

The facility features multiple communal lounges and dining areas that serve as the heart of the home. These spaces are designed to encourage interaction, whether it’s sharing a meal, participating in a group activity, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon with a book. The design brings in an abundance of natural light, and the decor is purposefully chosen to be warm and inviting, moving away from the clinical feel often associated with traditional aged care.
