Rest Home and Aged Care Hospital

We have been upgrading this aged care facility since we purchased it in 1999, and now we can cater for 33 rest home and hospital level care residents in a three level building and adjacent house where we have rooms for 5 semi-independent residents

Michelle Watson has been the manager here since the early 90's. She is a registered General Nurse, who has more than 15 years management and practical experience in Aged Care.

Healthcare

Our residents are fully supported by a team of Registered Nurses one of which is on duty 24 hours a day.

Residents either attend their own Doctors' surgery, or are visited at the home.

Our pharmacist pre-packages all our medications for all of our clients

We encourage families to take residents to hospital outpatients' appointments, but if they are unavailable one of staff members can accompany them.
