Opal HealthCare has 142 Care Communities across Australia, offering residential aged care with services for respite, dementia care, palliative care, and rehabilitation. We have 24/7 nurse care and the hospitality of home-cooked meals in every one of our Care Communities. We understand that thinking about or deciding on aged care is never easy. It can trigger all kinds of emotions, like fear, anxiety, guilt, loss or even relief. For us, aged care is about empathy and understanding and delivering the best possible quality of life. All provided by some of the most experienced and caring people you’ll ever meet. We encourage our residents to live a life of meaning and purpose – that’s why understanding the big and the little details about how you like to live each day is important to us – so that we can help you feel at home, have the right support and live your best life in our care. This is the future of aged care in Australia
