Kaniva Hostel

Kaniva Hostel is situated within the Kaniva Cottages complex in Arthur Vivian Close, Kaniva and consists of self-contained two-bedroom Cottages, with front and back yards and an enclosed garage under the main roof. Each cottage has its own bathroom, kitchen, dining area and lounge area, reverse cycle air conditioning and is furnished though residents are encouraged to decorate their units with belongings and mementos of their life. Caring for Residents is the first concern at Kaniva Hostel, ensuring the residents’ stay here is safe, comfortable and secure and providing a warm and friendly atmosphere which are all undoubtedly important factors in helping residents to overcome the anxieties of living away from their loved ones. Residents’ self-esteem, privacy and freedom of choice are valued. Our philosophy is to ensure and enable all residents to live their life with dignity and comfort whilst encouraging them to pursue their own concept of a happy rich and fulfilling 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. 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.
