Compassionate Residential Aged Care at SwanCare Waminda

SwanCare Waminda provides high-quality, refurbished residential aged care services to the local communities of Bentley, Victoria Park, Cannington, St James, Wilson, East Cannington, and the surrounding South East Perth metropolitan area. Situated within the heart of the renowned SwanCare Bentley Park campus, Waminda offers a unique “ageing in place” opportunity just 15 minutes from the Perth CBD. This central location ensures that residents remain deeply connected to their families and familiar local networks while benefiting from the extensive amenities of Western Australia’s largest integrated retirement and aged care site.

A Fresh Approach to Modern Aged Care Living

SwanCare Waminda has recently undergone a major refurbishment, transforming it into a modern, bright, and welcoming environment that prioritises both functionality and resident comfort. The design philosophy behind the renovation was to create a “homelike” atmosphere that moves away from the clinical feel of traditional facilities. By incorporating contemporary dining areas, inviting lounges, and strategically placed nursing stations on every floor, the facility ensures that residents have easy access to support while enjoying vibrant spaces for social interaction.

The building is designed to encourage a sense of community. With 110 beds, Waminda is large enough to offer a wealth of resources but structured to feel intimate and personal. The ground floor serves as a social hub, featuring expansive communal areas that flow out into a beautifully landscaped outdoor courtyard, providing a serene space for residents to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine with their visitors.
