Caring Together

Ageing Together is an accredited aged care facility offering high and low care, plus dementia specific care, in a secure and peaceful environment.

A personal profile of each resident ensures that we understand his or her cultural, medical, religious and social background so that we can provide a flexible, whole of person response.

We encourage the development of a welcoming community that enhances a sense of belonging, and ensures quality of life in a social setting, by providing residents with the opportunity to engage with others or relax privately in peaceful surroundings.

Residents are always treated with dignity and are encouraged to maintain their independence for as long as they are able. Our dementia specific wing has its own safe, secure dining and lounge overlooking a private courtyard and garden.
