Your day – your way

While the surroundings at Liston Heights are beautiful, its great care that Liston Heights is known for. Resident’s wishes come first, with care built around the way they prefer their day to be – and that can change from day to day. That’s why we say “your day – your way.”

At Liston Heights, our residents will always find something to do – whether it’s getting involved in our activities or choosing to enjoy their own company in their large bedrooms, with the convenience of ensuites and kitchenettes.

General Manager, Claire Jordan and her team like to think of their care as “providing support, so that you can still be you.” To find out more, phone Claire on (07) 378 2666.

Special Features
You can be sure of companionship, comfort and security at Liston Heights. It's a happy, friendly place with a strong community spirit and a reputation for skilled compassionate care. If you join us, we know you will soon make new friends and feel right at home.

The rest home is unique in that all rooms other than the short-term respite care rooms, are spacious studio units. These units are configured as bed sits with full ensuite and a kitchenette that has a small fridge with tea making facilities. Residents are therefore able to enjoy visits from family and friends in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms if they choose to do so.

Liston Heights provides a full range of services from independent units through to services for those who have more complex needs.

Bupa has no shareholders so all surpluses are reinvested into our care homes.
