When the time comes for a higher level of support, you may consider options for residential care.
Our two aged care residences – Aldersgate at Felixstow and Murray Mudge at Glenelg – are both fully accredited, have private gardens, secure grounds for people living with dementia, and strong local community ties. Uniting Communities maintains your wellbeing and keeps you connected in comfortable and modern accommodation.
The My Aged Care site contains more information about aged care, as well as the government support available.
