Harbourside Lodge was built in 2007, to replace the ageing Seymour Cundy Wing Aged Care Facility. Our home is fully accredited and government funded to provide residential aged care and services under the banner of Portland District Health.
We have 3 different room types available:
- 14 single rooms with private ensuite
- 8 single rooms with ensuite shared between 2 residents
- 4 double rooms with ensuite
Rooms are furnished with an adjustable single bed; built in wardrobe; bedside drawers; an over-bed table; 32” television (at a cost); a split system unit for heating and cooling; and of course personal access to the adjoining ensuite. Rooms that share an ensuite will have an access door each. A telephone may be accessed if required to have in the room.
We encourage the personalisation of bedrooms to create a homely environment that you can recognise and be comfortable in.
