Our Centres | Overview

SummitCare centres offer a unique community in which older people can live life to their fullest, while having peace of mind that all their care needs are met.

SummitCare is an organisation that has been providing quality residential aged care within the Sydney metropolitan area for more than 40 years.

In that time we have built a reputation for providing the highest standards of care in a warm and caring environment.

All of our homes have been recognised for excellence by the Aged Care Standards Agency and awarded the maximum term of three (3) years accreditation.

 

Environment and Accommodation Services


Each SummitCare centre is configured with single, twin and multi-bed rooms. Every centre has access to well appointed sitting and communal space where residents and relatives are welcome to set up for visiting or to hold a family gathering. Residents should feel welcome to sit and enjoy the television or participate in the scheduled activities program organised by our recreational activities staff. We are happy to assist in organising special occasions, for more details simply contact the centre.

 

SummitCare works with a professional interior designer to make sure that colour coordination and furniture is appropriate for the needs of our residents. Colour schemes are chosen with the needs of residents with dementia in mind. We pride ourselves on making our environments pleasant and welcoming.

 

We work with a professional gardening firm to make sure external space is accessible and each centre regularly hosts barbeques and other functions to involve families in the day to day activities.

All of your daily requirements are catered for. Each of our centres have in place communal dining rooms where residents can choose to enjoy any meal of the day.

 

All of our centres work closely with the local community and we have arrangements for all religious requirements. We work to make sure our programs are meaningful, and age & gender appropriate.
