Elizabeth Gardens

At Elizabeth Gardens, our 68 bed (38 bed low and 30 bed high) facility we pride ourselves on creating a homelike environment for our residents. From the moment you walk into our home it is evident that the Facility is much more than a building but rather the residents' home. Ageing in place is part of our philosophy.

Residents' bedrooms and sitting rooms both in the nursing home and hostel have a garden outlook. The separate buildings are linked by a lovely tranquil garden. This and the many outdoor areas provide a great venue for residents, family and friends to gather.

A qualified chef caters to all resident's tastes and dietary requirements. Our chef prepares optional meals for individual cultural groups.

The lifestyle program has been developed in conjunction with the resident's to cater for their individual preferences. There are group activities, independent activities, personalised programs and small groups. Weekly outings are planned with scenic drives, lunches and day trips. Each resident's preferences are taken into account to support their independence and enhance their lifestyle.
