I work in this Aged Care facility and the care and wellbeing of our residents is second to none. If I had an elderly relative in need of care, I would have no hesitation in placing them here. Unlike another home I have worked in the Nuns make sure that it is all about resident care and not money.
St Pauls is and aged care facility caring for 98 Residents. Each Resident has a single room with ensuite. There are common dining facilities with trays to rooms for those unable to attend the dining room. Food is prepared onsite and served fresh. Laundry services are provided along with cleaning. Nursing staff is rostered on 24/7 with a Registered Nurse on duty every shift. A Physiotherapist is also on staff. There is a generous diversional therapy programme for Residents. The facility has a bus to take Residents on outings and shopping trips.The building is a brick and tile construction all on one level.
