Whiddon Redhead

At Whiddon Redhead, we offer you a residential care service that reflects and respects your sense of independence and enjoyment. Whether you just want the reassurance of having help on hand if you need it, or you require more specialised care, Whiddon will work in close partnership with you and your family to create the care plan that’s right for you. You’ll find the coastal town of Redhead in the Hunter region of NSW, just a short drive from Newcastle. Our home is set in beautiful gardens with panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding native bush. We are only 300 metres away from the sea, so many of our rooms and shared areas have stunning sea views and we often spot whales. Offering 151 fully-furnished private and companion rooms, many with ensuite bathrooms, we are also co-located with our independent living village and community care centre, forming a close-knit aged care community.

Disclaimers

All information on this page - excluding Star Ratings, verified specialisations and Residents' Experience - is entered and maintained by Whiddon Redhead, who is responsible for ensuring the information is accurate, complete and up to date.

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. Learn more about how the specialisation verification process works.
