Rooms and costs

Our standard rooms are available in various layouts. All include a private ensuite bathroom, electric single or king single bed, bedside table, over the bed table, large window with blinds, blackout curtains or plantation shutters, unobtrusive modern nurse call system, built-in wardrobe, carpet or timber-look floor coverings, climate-controlled air conditioning, internal lock for privacy, and personal storage. Many rooms feature unique “front door” designs to assist with wayfinding and to create a sense of belonging. Some rooms feature display cases outside the room to personalise the entrance and help residents recognise their room. Some rooms feature direct access to a terrace or garden, some have a TV and/or picture rails, and views may include garden, courtyard, or rural outlooks, generally through large windows to maximise natural light and visual connection to the natural environment. There is a nurse station and sitting room and/or lounge conveniently located in each wing. We recommend a tour to view the available rooms, or our Admissions team will be happy to describe the individual features of available rooms and help you select a room which best meets your needs and preferences. Room layouts range from approximately 22m2 to approximately 31m2 of personal space, but most standard rooms are in the 23-25m2 range. Our standard rooms are suitable for most residents, including those who qualify for full or partial Government support for accommodation fees.
