McQuoin Park

McQuoin Park promotes a philosophy that recognises the value and individuality of each and every resident. The Seniors Living accommodation comprises 35 self-care units that share a bush setting with a residential aged care community that cares for 73 older people. Respite care is available in residential aged care service.

The self care units offer one and two-bedroom accommodation for people who are able to live independently in a village environment.

McQuoin Park offers many opportunities for volunteers. For further information contact Kerry Lovell, Volunteer Coordinator, on 02 9487 3022.

Formerly a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, North Sydney, McQuoin Park was transitioned to Catholic Healthcare in 2004.

The Sisters of Mercy, North Sydney are a member organisation of Catholic Healthcare.
