Each resident has their own private ensuite bedroom (king single, double or queen bed) and share the home as a family unit in their designer domestic-style kitchen, laundry, dining room, and sitting rooms. The town square includes a cafe, corner store, hairdresser, barber, movie theater, spa and gym, dental clinic and GP, for use by residents, staff, families and the wider external community.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing assess the quality of care at all government-funded aged care homes. Based on these assessments, each home receives a Star Rating as a simple way of showing information about the quality of care they provide and how they compare to others. Read more about Star Ratings.

If you pay a refundable accommodation deposit or a refundable accommodation contribution, they may be subject to retention. Any daily accommodation payment you make may also be subject to indexation. Learn more about aged care home costs and fees.

Specialisations with a check mark symbol are verified by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Each verification lasts for 3 years from the date it was granted. Once it expires, providers can apply again if they want to continue to be recognised for a specific specialisation on the Find a Provider tool.
