First established in 1997, with several extensions and renovations later, Anzac Lodge now offers 120 residential aged care beds. Anzac Lodge is all about recreating the feeling of home. The cosy and friendly atmosphere is the standout remark most often made by visitors. While we are a multicultural facility, we have a large percentage of residents from an Italian background. Accordingly, we have recruited several staff who speak Italian and also run Italian classes for many of our staff. Our aim is to set the standard in the region for aged care in providing the best possible level of care to our residents in a homely and supportive environment. We believe that a holistic approach towards aged care is essential and to be culturally appropriate in delivering this care. #J-18808-Ljbffr
