The Kyneton Community Aged Care facility opened on February 1 2010, with 60 beds arranged over one level on a thirteen acre site with views towards the Campaspe river system. Further expansion to 90 places occured in November 2011. Approvals are held for the construction and use of the balance of the land for 58 retirement units to be built at a later stage.
We cater for low care, high care, ageing in place and dementia care so that a resident is unlikely to need to move to another facility if their care needs change. The dedicated dementia wing has specialised accommodation, activity programs and specifically trained staff.
