Care Facility

The Residential Rest Home is a 45 bed Rest Home with nursing staff and trained caregivers. Each bedroom has it’s own en-suite bathroom. Residents are encouraged to participate in the daily Diversional Therapy activities provided. Access to Physiotherapy is available. Each Resident is encouraged to bring their own chattels to individualise their room to make them feel at home, as long as they have been approved by our Care Facility Manager.

Medical cover is provided by a team of doctors who share emergency call-out duties. On entry to the Residential Home or to the Hospital (other than for a short term) you will need to transfer responsibility for your medical care to a member of the Northbridge group of doctors.

A Podiatrist comes to the Residential Home and to the Hospital at regular intervals.

Residents who would like a television and/or telephone may have them. We suggest next of kin make the necessary arrangements for their provision and installation.

Our Hospital has 35 beds. Some of the rooms have an en-suite bathroom. At Northbridge we provide a Diversional Therapy programme to keep residents fit, active and entertained. Physiotherapy is also available.
Northbridge does not provide psychogeriatric level of care.

Northbridge has a Hairdressing Salon. The Salon staff visit the Hospital regularly, for people who do not wish or are not able to make the journey to the Salon.

The religious services are held fortnightly on Thursday mornings in the Rest Home and Holy Communion celebrated occasionally. Diversional Therapists can provide you with any updated programme.

Relatives and friends are welcome between the hours of 9am - 7pm. For any visits outside these hours, please contact the facility.

The Trustees have built a dedicated Memory Care Centre by re-configuring part of the existing Rest Home. The Unit comprises 16 bedrooms, each with an ensuite, and there is a secure outdoor area. Northbridge does not provide psychogeriatric level of care.

Physiotherapy is available to people in the Residential Home and in the Hospital, as and when required.

Our Care Facility has a choice of spacious rooms, with most including a personal ensuite. Should you choose a premium room in the care facility, there is an additional premium room charge of $45 - $70 per day. Please contact our Care Facility Manager for more information.
