If you are looking to make Resthaven Leabrook your home, visit the My Aged Care website to discuss your situation and arrange an assessment of your needs, identifying Resthaven as your preferred provider. This assessment will determine if you are eligible for residential aged care. Once you have been approved for this level of support, Resthaven will also conduct an evaluation to ensure our facilities are appropriate to your needs. Available accommodation is then offered to those with the greatest need.

‘Always aim to be the best you can’. It’s a piece of advice that was offered to Resthaven Leabrook resident Miss Barbara Wagner by her father when she was a child, and it is a mantra she has lived her life by.
Turning 100 on 22 August, Barbara has not wasted a moment, learning new skills at every opportunity and taking on new and interesting challenges as they came along. She was influential in the opening up of Australia’s meat export trade with Japan in the 1960s and 70s (visiting the country on several occasions), was president of the local chapter of a global volunteer movement that advocates for human rights and gender equality, and in one year, visited 23 different countries.

On Remembrance Day each year, Resthaven pays special tribute to veterans across all twelve residential sites, recognising their service, while remembering our fallen soldiers.
