Epping nursing home

The highly anticipated Wellness Centre at Epping Meadows Care Community has officially opened its door providing physiotherapist-led rehabilitation and reablement services to residents, family members and the local community. Our very enthusiastic team couldn’t help themselves and also dressed up in their favourite work out gear and joined in on the festivities.

Operated in partnership with Healthcare Australia, our Wellness Centre has a dedicated team of allied health professionals, who provide personalised programs that deliver real results, improving the quality of life and long-term health and happiness of our elders. To date, we have opened 22 Wellness Centres across 4 states with plans to open up more one more at Marsden Park before the end of the year.
