Lady Small Haven Aged Care Service

Lady Small Haven Aged Care Services is set among spacious, well maintained gardens at Benowa, close to the heart of the ever popular Gold Coast. There are 105 residents with either low or high care needs who live on the beautifully appointed site. Staff provide all levels of care in a loving, friendly environment dedicated to providing individualised, personalised attention for those in our care.

The facility has been designed to create a warm, friendly and comfortable environment where our residents can enjoy individually tailored, personal care. Our facilities offer support for ageing in place, with community based aged care available to residents and retirement living options offered on-site.

Hostel Accommodation facilities

The 59-bed hostel is tastefully furnished with comfortable lounges and dining areas. Residents’ bedrooms are left to be furnished by the resident themselves. However, all rooms have their own ensuite, wall heater, ceiling fan and a 24-hour emergency call system. Some rooms have external balconies and built-in wardrobes. Plugs are provided for small appliances, telephone and UHF television aerials.

Nursing Home Accommodation facilities

Every effort has been made to create a ‘homelike environment’ for the 46 residents in our facility. There are several attractive lounge areas and pleasant outdoor living spaces. Most accommodation is in two or four-bed rooms with a limited number of single rooms allocated to residents with special care needs. Each bed is fully screened for privacy. Residents have their own lockable bedside cabinet and large wardrobe. An individual heater, ceiling fan, television point, light and power point are provided for each resident. Each resident has access to the nurse call system. Residents are encouraged to make their room personal by bringing with them pictures and other personal effects.
