Independent living
Apartments
Our independent living apartments are private and secure. Stunning 1, and 2 bedroom apartments providing the ultimate in easy retirement living. Every square metre of space has been designed with you in mind and most have a northerly aspect to capture the sun’s warmth. The open plan living comes with all the modern features.
Care home with a difference
Greenwich Gardens offers rest home and hospital level care – but we’re not your traditional care home. Based on our unique homestead philosophy of care, this is a place designed to feel, quite literally, just like home.
With a family-friendly atmosphere and a strong sense of community, our care home residents (48 in total) enjoy their own rooms with ensuite. Clustered in a group of 12 rooms, they have access to their own homely yet modern kitchen, dining and lounge areas. Dine or socialise with other residents or use the shared spaces to entertain and even cook with family and friends. Feeling more sociable? There are plenty of opportunities to mix with other villagers in shared areas like our popular Atrium café.
As our happy residents and families will attest, this friendly home-like layout dishes up a far more intimate and personalised lifestyle than your stereotypical care home.
Residents call the shots
Our resident-directed care philosophy will give you independence and freedom. We work closely with residents and their families to provide an environment that actively supports freedom of choice. Choose the meals you want to eat (we offer plenty of options and even have a book of residents’ recipes we can cook), right through to the activities you want to enjoy. And while many care homes have strict timetables for daily routines, at Greenwich Gardens you’re free to enjoy your own schedule.
Whatever stage of life’s journey you are at, you’ll be supported and encouraged to live the life you want – and you’ll be treated with dignity, respect and compassion every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a unique aged care experience – one that offers the highest level of personalised care in a supportive home-like environment – put Greenwich Gardens at the top of your list.
