Sunset Rest Home and Hospital offers Wholehearted Care and support in a warm, friendly environment with happy, dedicated, multi-cultural staff. Sunset's expansive grounds provide opportunity for walks in the fresh air and there are plenty of spacious communal areas and “cosy nooks” to enjoy. Sunset is close to shops, services and bus stops.
Sunset is well established and respected in Blockhouse Bay and enjoys strong community involvement and support. Sunset is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms.
