A pre-admission meeting with the Clinical Care Coordinator is arranged for each potential resident to determine the specific needs and capabilities of that individual.

A Pastoral Care program is also designed for new residents to aid the transition from home living to the community of BlueCross Ashby.

Toured the new rooms at Ashby. Lovely living areas and very tasteful décor. Lots happening and smiling residents. Just what we want to see in aged care!

Thank you for your review Jane - we're glad you liked the new look at BlueCross Ashby. We think the renovations and extension have made this residence even more inviting for residents and their families - the decked terrace will be a wonderful space come the warmer weather too.
