Even for the most able retiree, there comes a time when help is needed with the basics of day-to-day living. Family members often step in to provide support, however there is always a limit to how much time can be committed and the level of care they can provide. This is where Serviced Apartment living at can provide the ideal answer.
We can provide a whole host of services, 24-hour support and a quality of life that you or your loved ones truly deserve. While you may be at a stage where you need a higher level of care, you can keep the spirit of independence, while your family can rest assured that you are always in safe hands and in good company.

For a greater daily support we offer a full continuum of care with a 12-bed rest home and a 29-bed residential hospital on-site. Both offer 24-hour care and provide a safe, comfortable environment – all while being close to our other accommodations, so partners can visit easily.
