We know St Ives has a rich history and is well known for its strong sense of community, beautiful homes and gardens, and local bushland areas.
Our goal is to provide exceptional care in high quality buildings that respond to, and respect, the local natural and built environment. We have selected St Ives due to the need for high quality care for local people who want to continue living locally. As we all age, it is also incredibly important to remain connected with local places and services, as well as our family and friends.
