The Homestead is aptly named to fit in the rural township it is located in and the environs surrounding the home also support this description. In the grounds there is vegetable gardens, a chicken shed, aviary, men's shed and seating areas amongst the flowering shrubs and bird baths. There is a specifically designed kitchen for the resident cooking activities within the activity room. Within the resident's room, the design provides opportunities for residents to personalise the space, with built in shelving and chests of draws on which to place photos and favourite objects. The light that enters the room through the sliding external access creates an airy living space to relax or chat with guests. The rooms are of a size that provides space for residents requiring extra equipment involved in the provision of their care.
