Hammondcare Waratah

With over 90 years’ experience in delivering expert aged care, HammondCare is a leading provider of care for people with complex needs including dementia. HammondCare Waratah's village comprises four homes, each made up of small cottages for between 9 to 17 residents with similar needs including dedicated environments for people living with dementia. Modelled on real households, the cottages feature HammondCare's leading design principles - setting the gold standard of care recommended by the Royal Commission. Cottages employ evidence-based, accessible features including easy outdoor access and family home kitchens to promote independence. Care team members receive specialised training and use a relationship-based approach to provide 24/7, registered nurse-led care. They learn about each person's history, passions, values, and hobbies to help them maintain a fulfilling life. Additional personalised services such as pastoral care are provided to enhance comfort and quality of life.

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 under the 1997 Aged Care Act. After the initial verification, these specialisations are reviewed every 3 years. Read more about how the specialisation verification process works.
