Where care, comfort, and belonging come together.
Nestled in the heart of Red Beach, Gulf Rise is a beautifully designed care home offering rest home, hospital, and dementia care, all within one warm, welcoming community. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the lovely sense of calm, the friendly chatter, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifting from the kitchen — the little things that make Gulf Rise feel like home.
Our modern care suites are light, spacious, and private, each with its own ensuite and space to make it truly yours. Step outside your door and you’ll find open, sun-filled lounges and inviting shared spaces — perfect for catching up with family, enjoying a cup of tea with neighbours, or simply soaking in the relaxed atmosphere.
At Gulf Rise, care is personal. Our compassionate team takes the time to get to know you — your preferences, routines, and the small comforts that make each day better. Whether you need a helping hand or more specialised support, you’ll always feel respected, cared for, and part of a community that feels like family.
Come and see for yourself.
We’d love to show you around our beautiful new care home and introduce you to the people — and the warmth — that make Gulf Rise so special.

The Ministry of Health conducts regular audits of Residential Care Facilities. They can be found HERE.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who 'buy' into a retirement village. If you intend to 'purchase' you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
