Reviews
Given the current COVID-19 environment we have temporarily disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Situated within a park like setting the Leslie Groves Hospital provides 31 beds for those assessed as requiring hospital level residential care.
Residents have large, modern private rooms, with their own ensuites, ideal for personalising with momentos and treasures. There are both Standard and Premium rooms as well as four palliative care rooms with a lounge area available for family use.
In-house activities are provided daily with both individual and group activities planned to meet the needs of all residents. Our activities staff also offer regular events, trips, outings and visits from local entertainers.
"Home cooked" style meals and snacks are prepared on site and laundry is also serviced on site.
Registered nurses supervise resident care 24 hours/day seven days a week.
Tha chaplain visits regularly and interdenominational services are held weekly.
We value the dignity and self worth of the people we support and encourage them to retain control of their lives as much as possible. The people we care for will be encouraged in their individuality as we cherish the richness of diversity.
