With a heritage in supported seniors’ living that dates back to 1969, Arcare is now one of the most innovative aged care providers in Australia.
Our first aged care residence was built in 1997 and since then we’ve grown to 36 throughout Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. Each residence is fully accredited by the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency with services including 24-hour nursing, ageing in place, permanent care, sensitive (dementia) care and respite care.
A proudly family-owned business, we also provide care services in the home.
Residential Aged Care
Our aged care residences are government endorsed and have been the gold standard in residential aged care since 1997.
Across our aged care residences throughout Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales, we offer a mix of permanent, respite and dementia accommodation as well as palliative care.
Home Care
In 2005 we broadened our services to include care in the home. Our home care division includes private home care services, government funded home care packages and disability services.
