Designed to promote independence and dignity for residents
Summervale Gardens
“Independent-style” living in our one- and two-bedroom cottages for seniors who are still active and value their privacy. Residents enjoy their own kitchenette and living space, with the reassurance of 24-hour care available when needed. One daily meal, weekly cleaning, laundry, and activities are all included.
Assisted Care
Located inside the Care Centre, Assisted Care is ideal for residents who need daily support with personal routines like bathing, dressing, medication, and three meals a day. With 24-hour nursing staff on-site, this option provides a structured, supportive environment for seniors who benefit from closer supervision.
Frail Care
For seniors who require full-time assistance and medical supervision, our Frail Care unit provides compassionate, professional support around the clock. We focus on health, comfort, mobility, and personalised care — helping every resident maintain dignity and quality of life.
Palliative Care
Our palliative care service provides gentle, comfort-focused support for residents with advanced or life-limiting conditions. We prioritise pain management, emotional well-being, dignity, and family involvement to ensure each resident feels at peace and cared for.
