If you are looking to make Resthaven Westbourne Park 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.
Resthaven believes that affordable aged care should be accessible to all across the full spectrum of financial means. Please speak with our friendly Accommodation Enquiries team to discuss the options available.

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

One of the most important conversations any individual may have with their loved ones or care providers is around their wishes concerning death and dying. That is why at Resthaven, advance care planning conversations are encouraged at all stages of life, as well as being elevated through training for all employees, and with hands-on support and guidance from Resthaven’s specially trained palliative care nurses, Karen Gregory and Claire Tan.
On Friday, 28 February, Resthaven held its 2025 Excellence Awards. The event recognised and celebrated Resthaven’s staff and volunteers, and the valuable and important work they do to contribute to the outstanding care and support of older people and their carers.
Held at the Wolf Blass Centre, Morphettville, almost 300 people attended the event, including the 80 award finalists, people who had nominated them, and special guests. Nominations for the awards were received from Resthaven residents, clients and families, as well as colleagues – with more than 1,800 nominations received.
Formal recognition programs, flexible work arrangements, increased rates of pay and additional leave entitlements are just some of the transformations Resthaven’s Executive Manager People & Culture, Sylvia Powell, has championed since joining Resthaven in 2020.
Coming on board soon after the appointment of CEO Darren Birbeck, the pair have worked together with the executive management team to boost the culture and conditions at Resthaven. They each strongly believe in workforce development and in celebrating the success of others. This International Women’s Day they are doing just that, while continuing to take steps to question unconscious bias, challenge discrimination and bring awareness to the areas where women’s equality is still a work in progress.
‘Wellness’ is a term that we hear a lot these days – and with good reason. The deliberate pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyle habits that improve our holistic health can lead to greater feelings of fulfillment and a better quality of life – something that is important at any age. Resthaven supports older people to pursue wellness, and this has been taken up a notch recently with the creation of a new position – the Community Wellness Manager.
Resthaven is proud to celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2025 with a series of events, activities and concerts to be held across all of Resthaven’s residential, community services and retirement lifestyle sites.

At 16, Resthaven Westbourne Park resident Wilfred (Wilf) Gelsthorpe won his first talent competition. It was in Sheffield, England, at a local pub.

Resthaven Westbourne Park resident Mrs Helen Doley spends her days thinking of others.
