Alzheimer’s Queensland has proudly operated Garden City Aged Care Services since late 2004. This 55-bed purpose built home has two accommodation options. Firstly, single room ensuites with kitchenette and secondly, a homelike secure cottage called Palm Court. We also have permanently allocated palliative care ensuites. The kitchenette rooms enable independent and private living whilst providing high care to meet the varying needs of our residents. Residents have the opportunity to enjoy personal time in their own rooms or enjoy their day and spend time with visitors in the newly refurbished lounge and outdoor patio. Similarly, Palm Court with a feel of a boutique hotel, promotes home life with quiet spaces and opportunities for participation in everyday activities such as home style cooking. At Garden City all meals are freshly prepared on site daily and the home cooking allows the smells and activity to create an environment reminiscent of every day home life.
