Welcome to our aged care community in Kew

Nestled in the quiet, leafy streets of Kew, Baptcare Karana Community is a warm and welcoming community only minutes from local cafes, shops, services and transport.

At Karana, you can make yourself at home. Our community is designed for living, from private, secure personal rooms – which you can decorate as you wish – to light-filled shared areas. You can spend time with your visitors or other residents in our gardens, lounge, or sitting and dining rooms.

Features of our community include:

  • A choice of tasty, healthy meals, which are prepared daily by a chef and are planned in consultation with dieticians
  • A rich and varied lifestyle and activities program, with options ranging from individual hobbies through to group activities and bus outings
  • Allied health services, including podiatry and physiotherapy
  • Pastoral care services and a chapel
  • Hairdressing salon
  • Kiosk
  • Library with internet connection
  • Full laundry services

Around-the-clock care

Our community is managed by senior Registered Nurses with years of aged care experience. And we have trained nurses on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We employ experienced nurses as Unit Managers, with each Unit Manager overseeing a specific group of residents. This means that you and your family have a senior staff member who knows you well and provides a consistent point of contact for any questions you may have.

We cater for the changing needs of our residents, which range from lower-level care through to more complex, high-level care requirements. So you can be confident that you will receive the highest standard of care, even as your needs change.

We care for the right reasons

As a faith-based, not-for-profit organisation with over 70 years’ experience in aged care, Baptcare is dedicated to providing the best of care for older people.

Reviewing an aged care provider is a great way to share your thoughts. But please follow the policies listed below when writing a review.

We will remove content that violates any of the policies listed below:

  • Conflict of interest: Reviews are most valuable when they are honest and unbiased. Please do not review your own aged care service or that of a competitor.
  • Off-topic reviews: Do not post reviews based on a third party experience, they must be your own. Our reviews are not a forum for general political or social commentary or personal rants.
  • Impersonation: Do not post reviews on behalf of other people or misrepresent your identity or connection with the aged care provider you are reviewing.
  • Language: Do not use offensive, profane, or obscene language. We will remove reviews that represent personal attacks.
  • Personal and confidential information: Do not post reviews that contain the personal and confidential information of another person.
  • Spam Content: Please no spam. Reviews should be a genuine reflection of your experience with an aged care provider. Do not include promotional content or advertising in any form. Duplicate material will not be accepted.
  • Telephone Numbers and Web Links: To prevent adverts and spam, we do not permit phone numbers or web links.
  • Hate Speech: We do not allow reviews that advocate against people based on their ethnic origin, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or age.
  • Aged Care Reviews is not a complaints system. Reviews must be fair and reasonable. Any defamatory statements reflecting a personal experience that has not yet been taken up with the respective provider will not be accepted. If you have a personal complaint to make about an aged care facility we encourage you to contact your provider directly using the details provided on their listing. Alternatively you can submit a complaint via the Government’s Aged Care Complaints Scheme.

We are so far very happy with the facility. The proximity suits our various family members and visitors. The staff are pleasant, helpful, caring and professional. The environs are comfortable and the room a good size. The association with the Baptist Church was of particular resonance for my family as my parents have been members of Kew Baptist church for many years and the devotional aspect and activities are of great enjoyment and comfort not only for my father but for the rest of the family. He, and we, are known to many of the visitors and volunteers from the church. The new manager of the facility, Adam, is very much a presence and communicates regularly. I feel that any query or concern will be dealt with promptly and openly.
