Baptcare Wattle Grove Community

Care developed with your needs in mind

At Wattle Grove, our goal is to make you feel at home.

With registered nurses on-site at all times, Wattle Grove is accredited to provide all levels of residential aged care (low to high), as well as end-of-life (palliative) care. Every resident has their own care plan, which is developed together with the resident and their family.

• dietetics
• counselling
• speech therapy
• palliative care
• diversional therapy
• visiting doctors.

Nutritional care

You will be offered a choice of tasty, healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All food is prepared fresh every day by our on-site chef.
