A lifestyle you’ll love, with care that feels like home

Ageing is living at Opal HealthCare’s Care Communities in Geelong.

Ideally located for you to enjoy everything you love about our beautiful city, Kardinia Parkside and Highton Gardens Care Communities offer residential aged care, but not as you know it.

We take the time to understand the big and the little details about how you like to live, so you can enjoy your day, your way. And you’re guaranteed a friendly welcome.

“Kardinia Parkside Care Community is a lovely place to call home,” says Janette, who recently moved to Geelong from country Victoria.

“Everyone has been so nice to me, and so helpful.”

Our Care Communities offer a relaxing environment with the compassionate and personalised care of 24/7 registered nurses. Enjoy nutritious, tasty meals created by our inhouse chefs, take a walk in our beautiful gardens (or bring your green thumbs) and stay active with our state-of-the-art wellness centres that bring a holistic approach to wellbeing, rehabilitation and restorative care.

Our Care Communities are warm, family-oriented environments, designed to create a sense of kinship, and we encourage and support residents to keep the connections they’ve built within the local community.

“I felt an immediate warmth and welcome when I first arrived at Highton Gardens Care Community,” says Frances.

“The sight of happy residents always puts a smile on my face. I’ve personalised my room with family pictures and personal items, making it truly my own. The fortnightly bus trips organised by the community are a highlight, and the team here is incredibly friendly, always going above and beyond to assist us.

“I recently joined the card group, and playing cards twice a week has brought so much joy to my routine. All activities are well-presented and tailored to our needs. I cherish every day living here, and I would recommend Highton Gardens Care Community to anyone seeking care.”
