A secure and well established home nestled in the tree- scaped suburb of North Manly, Austral House provides high quality care and a welcoming environment to its residents and their families. Austral House boasts a long history as a ladies only nursing home. It now specialises in the care of women living with dementia. Some of our residents are under 65 years of age. Our long-term staff are well known to residents and families, providing familiarity, a sense of 'connectedness' and consistency of care. The quiet, calm atmosphere in a small, all female home is also comforting and reassuring ' helping to alleviate the confusion and agitation sometimes associated with dementia.Although it is an all female home, Austral House works closely with residents' husbands and families. Husbands are welcome to visit and help care for their partners; and family outings are commonplace. Our links with the Mental Health Team at Manly Hospital and community organisations such as Alz
