Welcome to HammondCare Horsley
Located south-west of Wollongong's CBD, HammondCare Horsley offers cottage-style living for people living with dementia, including those with younger onset dementia. Each of our eight residential cottages is equipped with a kitchen, laundry, living room and garden, with homemade and nutritious meals provided every day.
Designed to promote independence, HammondCare Horsley is equipped with dedicated care professionals whose warmth and expertise ensure each resident receives personalised and compassionate care.
A café, shop, and children’s playground are some of the stand-out onsite features that promote social connection and engagement. Raised garden beds entice residents to get involved in gardening and physiotherapy and exercise programs to encourage healthy living. HammondCare Horsley also has a beautiful expansive courtyard, complete with an undercover area, BBQ facilities, and seating. Spend quality time with loved ones and share a delicious meal together in this inviting outdoor space.
What does HammondCare Horsley offer?
The warmth of home: All eight cottages in Horsley provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere with all the comforts of home. They each have their own dining, lounge, and outdoor areas, with accessible courtyards and beautiful gardens.
Engagement with life: We encourage residents to take part in everyday activities which provides a sense of purpose and feeling involved. We also offer residents a variety of social and recreational opportunities, including gardening, bus trips, music and special visits for pet therapy.
A fresh food culture: High quality, varied, and delicious food is essential to everyone’s physical and emotional health. That’s why we ensure all meals are freshly cooked on-site and we spend significantly more on each meal than industry average.
Comprehensive support: At HammondCare, we aim to provide comprehensive support for each resident, their family, and carers, to help embrace physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. We value understanding your wishes for care in the future and can provide information for you about how to communicate those wishes to your care team.
