Discover Homewood’s high level specialised care
We pride ourselves on providing the best clinical care for Sydney's residents
Homewood provides 24 hour nursing care
We provide full assistance for 82 residents across two floors who need 24-hour nursing care. A Registered Nurse is available 24-hours and is supported by a team of qualified nurses, carers and health professionals.
We partner with a geriatrician, aged care nurse practitioner, and care nurse specialists. Residents also have access to the services of the geriatric flying squad at St George Hospital that complements our medical and nursing services. The squad focuses on ‘hospital admission avoidance’ by assessing if there is the need for the resident to go to hospital or if this can be avoided with treatment at Homewood in the comfort of the resident’s familiar environment (their home).
Several local doctors, who specialise in aged care, visit regularly to provide quality medical support.
We provide an individualised, respectful family-oriented approach to:
End of Life care (Palliative Care)
