believe in
Step into a residential aged care service (nursing home) and you can’t help but feel at home. We want to make your experience warm and inviting, from our homelike design, to our comfortable community areas and private bedrooms, to our exceptional outdoor gardens and landscaped grounds.
Home is a place where you can trust the people around you, and when you truly feel supported to live the life you want. At CBCS, our team will work with you and your family to ensure you feel welcome, valued and safe straight away.
Most of our aged care homes offer you a single room with an ensuite. We aim to provide a comfortable environment that you can make into your home. We provide many other spaces for you to enjoy as well – gardens, community rooms, chapels, TV rooms etc.
“It’s your home, your rules.”
Your CBCS family will ensure you are welcome, valued, and safe.
