Aged Care Homes with Couples accommodation in Glen Elgin, New South Wales 2370

Located in one of North Eastern New South Wales’ most picturesque cities, the 84-bed home overlooks the Clarence River and rural and town landscapes. During the Spring months of each year, the town is blanketed in stunning purple flowers when the Jacaranda trees bloom, drawing both national and international visitors to this proud country town. There are six main accommodation wings featuring a mix of single rooms and companion rooms, which enable residents to maintain social connections more easily. The 14-bed West Wing has a dedicated palliative care room. There is also the option for family members to stay overnight if they wish. We encourage residents to socialise in the home's common areas, with lounge and dining rooms throughout the complex. Family members & friends are welcome to visit any time, and can spend time in the home's peaceful gardens or take in the stunning views of the river from the verandah. Staying active and socialising is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. At Grafton, we run a monthly activity program with activities such as arts, crafts and games, exercise groups as well as movie and theme days. We have a number of volunteers supporting our home and have regular musical performances, fetes, raffles and visits from school & community groups.
