What are the best aged care homes in Sydney?
There is no single best aged care home in Sydney: the right one depends on the care needed, where family can visit, the budget, and whether a suitable room is free. Of the 63 Sydney homes we list, the highest overall government star rating (as at February 2026) is 5 stars, held by Catholic Healthcare (Hunters Hill), Regis Rose Bay, Regis Rose Bay and St Vincent's Care Services. A rating is a starting point, not a verdict: also weigh residents' experience, staffing, the room price and how the home feels when you visit.

Ratings: Star Ratings published by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (as at February 2026). Room prices: the figure each home has published, where we have one; prices change, so confirm with the home. How the star ratings work, and what they miss.
How to choose a home in Sydney
Seven checks, drawn from the Sydney data above. One more before any of them: no public list shows live vacancies, so a home with no suitable room for months is not an option this month. Ring each home on your shortlist.
Start with the overall rating, then read the parts
33 of the 47 rated homes in our Sydney list hold 4 or 5 stars, and 4 of those hold 5. None is rated below 3 stars, so the overall figure alone will not separate many homes here. 16 homes have no rating in our data; newer homes often have none yet, so ask them directly.
Give residents' experience extra weight
Residents' experience is the one part of the rating that comes from residents themselves, through an independent survey. Eight Sydney homes rated 4 or 5 overall are rated 3 or lower for it, so a high overall figure can hide how residents feel day to day. Across the 41 homes with sub-ratings, 28 score 4 or 5 for residents' experience.
Check staffing, especially at night
The staffing rating reflects care minutes per resident each day, including registered nurse time. Among our Sydney homes, 5 homes are rated 1 or 2 stars for staffing and 7 are rated 4 or 5; 10 of the 15 homes with published care minutes met their government target. These are averages over a quarter, so ask how many care staff and registered nurses are on each shift, including nights and weekends.
Compare the price of the actual room
9 of the 63 homes in our list have a published room price in our data, from $325,000 at Belmore Place Care Community (Lakemba) to $1,015,000 at Bolton Clarke, with a median of $719,000. Prices vary room by room within a home, so ask for the full list and the price of the room actually on offer. What aged care costs in Sydney covers the daily fees as well.
Put location before a single star
The homes in our list are spread across 48 suburbs, with the most in Narrabeen (3), Cabramatta (2), Castle Hill (2) and Hunters Hill (2). Choose somewhere family and friends can reach easily: regular visits from familiar people matter a great deal, and a home close by can suit better than a higher-rated one an hour away.
Look past who owns it
Of the 63 homes in our Sydney list, 40 are run by not-for-profits (27 of them faith-based), 20 by for-profit companies (4 of them ASX-listed) and 3 by government. Of the rated ones, 75% of not-for-profit homes and 54% of for-profit homes hold 4 or 5 stars. Ownership alone tells you little about a particular home: ask who manages it day to day, how long they have been there, and how much agency staff it uses.
Match the home to the care needed
Our data does not record specific services for these homes, so ask each one directly about dementia care, a secure area, palliative care and respite. See our guides to dementia care, respite and palliative care.
Questions about aged care in Sydney
How many aged care homes are there in Sydney?
Our list for Sydney is a selection, not every home: My Aged Care's Find a provider tool lists every government-funded home. We list 63 homes in Sydney, and 47 of them have an overall government star rating in our data (as at February 2026).
Which aged care homes in Sydney have a 5-star rating?
Catholic Healthcare (Hunters Hill), Regis Rose Bay, Regis Rose Bay and St Vincent's Care Services have 5 stars overall (as at February 2026), the top government rating ("Excellent"). A 5-star home can still be the wrong fit for your family, so visit and ask about the room on offer.
How much does a room cost in a Sydney aged care home?
Among the 9 Sydney homes in our list with a published room price, prices run from $325,000 to $1,015,000, with a median of $719,000. Paid entirely as a daily payment, $719,000 works out to about $167.64 a day at the government interest rate of 8.51% (as at 1 October 2026). See aged care costs in Sydney for the daily fees on top.
Are most aged care homes in Sydney not-for-profit?
Yes: in our list, 40 of 63 (63%) are run by not-for-profit organisations, 20 by for-profit companies and 3 by government. 75% of the rated not-for-profit homes and 54% of the rated for-profit homes hold 4 or 5 stars. Neither type is better by definition; the home itself matters more.
Can someone help us find a room in Sydney?
Yes. My Aged Care (1800 200 422) is free and lists every home. If you want someone to do the legwork, we help families in Sydney by phone and video: we ring homes to confirm real vacancies, arrange video tours and explain the fees, for a fixed $1,450. The first conversation is free. Placement help in Sydney.
