Residential Gardens For Spanish Speaking Frail Aged

Gold Coast Aged Care welcomes Residential Gardens For Spanish Speaking Frail Aged in Rooty Hill, NSW 2766 residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms by bringing items from their previous homes.

Our History

Residential Gardens was established in 1993 as a hostel for Spanish speaking aged people. As a non profit organisation its aim was to manage and operate an aged care service to meet the needs of the elder people of Spanish speaking backgrounds.

Residential Gardens was and remains the only aged care organisation in Australia with a focus on the Spanish speaking community.

The Spanish speaking migrants settled in different states of Australia, the largest group being in New South Wales. Spanish speakers in Australia come from many parts of the world and although they speak a common language, they have different accents, cultures, traditions and customs. They also come from different social backgrounds.

Forward Vision

Residential Gardens currently accepts residents from all over Australia and underwent redevelopment and expansion for new places to meet the demand of the growing ageing population.

The Management experiences and expertise in business operation, investment strategies and training, envisaged the extension and the addition of 40 new places.
