Our Daycare Program is set up to give Caregivers a break, making it easier for them to take care of their family members, but also gives them some time for themselves. This helps them live at home longer and stay in their community. We have lots of different activities that they are able to participate if they wish.
We have Chef who prepares and cooks all the meals, including morning and afternoon tea. This is all included within the day program. The program runs Monday to Friday from 8.30 am until 4.30 pm. There is a pick-up service at a small fee on some days. This can be fully funded by Care Coordination.

Residents Say It Best
”They cared for my father in the final years of his life and he was treated with dignity and respect by the caring staff. I really appreciate that on the day of his passing they lit a candle for him and were compassionate people towards us. Several of the staff became trusted carers in his final years. If anyone is looking for a care home for an elder family member where they will treat them well, this is that place.”
