BAPTCARE KARINGAL Residential Care and Services Manager Trent Baxter
“I’ve been a proud part of the Karingal community for 11 years. The transition to aged care is not always easy, but we want to hear about everything we can possibly do to make you feel supported, so you can embrace Karingal as a new home. It’s the little details that make the difference.”
With gorgeous natural views and Mount Roland as a distant backdrop, Baptcare Karingal is right in the heart of Devonport.

We’re close to shops and cafes, and near to many local schools: perfectly convenient for regular visits from the grandkids! You’ll find us halfway up the gentle hill of Lovett Street, just high enough to feel refreshing hints of Devonport’s coastal sea breeze.

Karingal is blessed with a convenient inner suburban location, but with beautiful nature and parklands at our doorstep. For those who love a stroll in nature, Don Reserve is just a short drive away: a bushland reserve with walking tracks near the Don River. Or, if you prefer to relax and take it easy, you’ll find someplace cosy right here at Karingal.

Karingal Community is also co-located with Baptcare’s well-renowned and highly regarded Karingal Retirement Living villas.

Living well together

We’re a thriving community at Karingal

Every person at Karingal is different and unique. So, our approach to care is just as individual. We listen to what makes life meaningful for you—what do you love to do? What makes you feel excited to start each day?—and support you to make it happen.

Lifestyle activities are huge here and there’s always something new on the schedule, with a variety of activities to get involved with every single day. Or, you can always relax and take things at your own pace. Everyone’s idea of ‘home’ is different, so we always check in to ensure that’s what Karingal feels like for you.

Live well, your way

Living well looks different for everybody. Whatever you love to do—whatever makes your day and makes life meaningful—we’re here to make it happen.

Some of the hobbies and activities we support residents with include:

  • Singing and music therapy, both one-on-one and in groups. Slim Dusty’s classic ‘I’d love to have a beer with Duncan’ is a huge favourite!
  • Knitting and crochet: it can get chilly here in Devonport, and a home-made scarf is always a winner in winter.
  • Exercise and walking in the nearby grounds.
  • Bus trips out into the community. Sometimes it’s for a meal and a cuppa with a few of us together or touring Devonport and visiting beautiful local nature sites such as Coles Beach.
  • Project Grow, our gardening initiative. Residents with a green thumb keep our garden looking gorgeous, and many enjoy painting garden gnomes to pop around the grounds.

What's important to you?

These are some examples, but living well looks different for every person. It’s all about taking the time to understand your preferences, hobbies and passions. We’d love to chat through your favourite things to do when you visit us for a tour.

Food

What’s on the menu

There’s always something fresh and delicious on offer at Karingal, with a choice of tasty, healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Family and friends are always welcome to join too: all you need to do is book ahead.

Fresh, seasonal menus

Our chefs prepare all food on site using delicious seasonal ingredients. Our menu is designed by reputable chefs in partnership with qualified dietitians, with special meals and themed menus for important cultural events.

A range of delicious options every day

Choice is important in every aspect of life at Karingal. Food is no exception. You’ll have the choice of two hot options for lunch and dinner, and sometimes three. There are fresh sandwiches and salads available for lunch and dinner, and bowls of fresh seasonal fruit you can enjoy throughout the day, every day.

Personalised dietary preferences

We have regular food focus meetings with residents to help decide the types of meals we offer. While our base menu is approved by a specialised dietitian, we adjust the menu based on your feedback, preferences and individual dietary needs.
