Community centred, locally focused

Proudly serving the Chatswood community since 1989, we exist entirely for the benefit of our community. As a not-for-profit organisation, surpluses are reinvested to ensure our care and services continue to reflect the people and community we serve.

Many of our residents come from the local area and we support people to remain connected to the relationships, places and routines that give their life meaning.

Our co-located model of retirement living, residential aged care and public housing reflects our commitment to an inclusive community where everyone is supported to live with dignity and belonging.
