In 2009 we saw a name change from Palliser Rest Home and Hospital to Greytown Lifecare we were purchased by The Ultimate Care Group in 2007. We are experienced Rest Home operators who have a passion for providing a high quality of Aged Care. Although we live outside the immediate district we are at the home regularly providing support to our Manager & her team.
Greytown Lifecare is a well positioned home in the rural historic town of Greytown. Whilst on the outskirts it is also very conveniently located just off the main road within a short distance to the shops. A medical centre is also on site. Providing GP's and Practice Nurses and a physiotherapist to our community. There are a number of garden areas at Greytown Lifecare that residents and their families can retreat to. Some of these have a nice intimate domestic feel about them. Others have a more expansive feel to them. One garden area where there is seating placed beneath a large tree is well positioned for a view across a paddock to the main road where the traffic can be observed from a distance. Not only does Greytown Lifecare offers Rest Home and Hospital levels of care, it also offers a variety of room configurations. From standard rest home rooms with a hand basin to ensuited rooms with toilet and hand basin or rooms with a wet area shower, toilet and hand basin. Our facility also offers these services: |
