Anglican Care McIntosh Court
McIntosh Court is a dementia specific residential aged care home providing accommodation for 63 residents. Located adjacent to the beautiful Lake Macquarie in Booragul, McIntosh Court has enjoyed a long history in the Lake Macquarie area, and is well known in the local community for the quality of care it provides and the lovely outdoor courtyard and garden areas which enable residents to stroll in pleasant surroundings. In 2012, the home introduced the "Booragul Blokes Shed", a dedicated Men's Shed area for male residents. The objective of the Shed is to increase opportunities for conversation, camaraderie and well being for our male residents, including those with dementia.
The quality of care provided at McIntosh Court is enhanced by the provision of a stimulating lifestyle and wellbeing program. Anglican Care also has an active community of volunteers, with many volunteers providing additional services and new friendships to the residents of McIntosh Court.
