Private aged care that keeps you feeling like yourself
A household of twelve suites in Southport, where the day is built around the people living in it.
Needing care should not mean handing over your life. Early bird or night owl, a snack at an odd hour, a lie-in on a Sunday — this is a home, and it fits around the person living in it.
The household
- Twelve private suites on a single floor
- Each with a kitchenette and its own seating
- A shared residents’ kitchen at the centre of the house
- Common living and outdoor spaces
- A registered nurse on site, 24 hours
Because it is small, the people caring for your mother or father get to know them — what they like, who visits, what a bad day looks like. That is not a feature we can list. It is the reason to come and see it.

If more care is needed later
Many residents come to the household from an apartment upstairs. Support can also come to an apartment in ten-minute increments, for as long as that is enough. The point of one address is that changing how much help you need does not mean changing where you live, or who your neighbours are.

Questions families ask
What makes this different from a nursing home?
Size and routine. Twelve suites on one floor is a household rather than a wing, and the day is built around how each resident already lives — when they wake, when they eat, what they do — instead of around a schedule everyone fits into.
Can my parent move here from an apartment upstairs?
Yes, and it happens. Care is on the same site, so the move is within one address rather than to a different suburb, and the people they know are still here.
What does it cost, and what funding can we use?
It depends on the suite and the care needed, and government funding arrangements changed recently. Call us and we will go through what applies to your situation rather than send you a figure that may not.
Can we look around before deciding?
Please do. Come and see the household, meet the nurse on duty, and ask the questions this page has not answered.
Come and meet us
Most families want to see the household and talk to whoever is on duty before they decide anything. That is exactly what a visit is for.
Weekdays, and someone answers.
