Located in the heart of Albany, Arvida Aria Gardens offers warm, personalised rest home care in a welcoming community. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your needs, routines, and what brings you joy — because at Arvida, care is shaped around you, not the other way around.

Whether you need a little support or more hands-on help, we’re here to make each day comfortable, familiar, and full of connection.

At Arvida Aria Gardens, care goes beyond healthcare. It’s about creating a life where you feel valued, supported, and free to be yourself. That’s why we follow The Attitude of Living Well™ — our unique approach that puts your wellbeing first, every day.
We focus on five key pillars to support your whole self:

Eating Well
Enjoy nourishing, delicious meals shaped by your tastes and preferences.

Moving Well
Stay active in ways that feel good, from gentle walks to group classes.

Resting Well
Relax your way, with flexible routines and cosy spaces to unwind.

Thinking Well
Keep your mind sharp with creative, cultural, and social activities.

Engaging Well
Feel connected through meaningful moments, shared laughter, and community.

At Arvida Aria Gardens, living well is about more than care — it’s about living life your way.
