St Francis Aged Care

St Francis Aged Care is a welcoming community, offering low care accommodation for 48 residents in the Far North Coast NSW city of Grafton. Respite care is also available.

We aim to provide a homelike atmosphere and encourage residents to participate in the variety of activities on offer. People from all backgrounds and faiths are welcomed at St Francis Aged Care, and family and friends are encouraged to be involved in the daily life of our community.

St Francis Aged Care is fully accredited by the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency.

Built in 1977 by the St Vincent de Paul Society, the residential aged care service welcomed its first residents in early January 1978. The community was originally named Ozanam Villa Hostel, after Frederic Ozanam, the founder of the St Vincent de Paul Society.

After nearly 30 years being owned and operated by the St Vincent de Paul Society, Ozanam Villa Hostel transitioned to Catholic Healthcare in May 2007. In May 2008, the service was renamed St Francis Aged Care in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Many additions have been made to the service over the years, keeping pace with the increasing care needs of our residents. In 1992, an additional 12 rooms were added to the original 36-room service. Part of these renovations included the building of the Fuschia Wing to provide care for people with dementia.

St Francis Aged Care is located close to the main centre of town, Grafton Base Hospital, Jacaranda Park and public transport.
