Worth knowing here
Residents' experience is rated two stars or fewer at Abberfield Aged Care Facility, so on a visit ask to speak with a resident or a family member without staff present.
Quality measures (falls, pressure injuries, unplanned weight loss and medication) are rated one star at Mercy Place Fernhill, so ask what each is doing about the measure that pulled its rating down.
Brighton Shore Care Community, Regis Brighton, Rosehill Aged Care Facility, Regis Sandringham, Calvary Elanora and two others delivered fewer care minutes than their target in January to March 2026; the other 9 homes with figures met theirs.
Six of the 16 homes are in Brighton alone, so if Brighton is not where you want to be, the choice in Bayside narrows to ten homes.
