The quiet living spaces, along with landscaping that features expansive gardens and walkways, invites residents to enjoy a warm and homey atmosphere.

We are dedicated to celebrating and supporting each resident as an individual. Our registered nurses and care staff, along with allied health clinicians (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, dietician and speech pathologist) provide services 24/7 to enhance our resident’s well-being.

Our private, single suites feature

Experienced specialists will develop a specialised programme for our residents to use our rehabilitation style, low impact FinnGym equipment.
