John Curtin is a supervisory care facility providing long term and respite care for aged people who are frail or have dementia and need help to manage with daily living.
The facility provides a welcoming environment to residents, families, friends and visitors. The care of our residents is designed to maintain their quality of life and to ensure they can live with dignity and privacy in a secure setting.
The John Curtin Independent Living Units facilitate independent living close to support services. People with a high level of independence are offered the opportunity to maintain individuality in accommodation whilst participating in a supportive community lifestyle.
All residents are encouraged to participate, according to personal choice in a wide range of social or recreational activities within the facility or the community.
