Kolan Gardens Aged Care Service

Kolan Gardens Aged Care Service at Gin Gin is nestled on a hill next to the hospital and associated services. The low care facility, which opened in 2005, provides 20 residents with excellent accommodation in an intimate and homelike environment.

Kolan Gardens has been designed to create a warm, friendly and comfortable environment where our residents can enjoy individually tailored, personal care. All of our facilities offer support for ageing in place. Community based aged care is offered to on-site residents and the motor vehicles utilised for the community packages are available for transport to appointments and other local commitments. Retirement living options are available with Care in the region.
