Residential Care, Dunsborough
Capecare Dunsborough is the first residential care facility for the rapidly-growing Dunsborough community.
The 80-bed residential care facility caters for people with high physical needs in a dementia-enabling environment. Admissions are now underway. Residents enjoy an environment designed with them in mind. Much research, care and time has been taken in designing the residential care bedrooms, living, dining and outdoor areas to ensure the best possible quality of life for our new Dunsborough residents. Art by an array of talented Margaret River artists features throughout the facility and high standard Australian-made furnishings have been selected with resident comfort the top priority.
Capecare Dunsborough’s residential facility features plenty of natural light and fresh air and stimulating outlooks. Bedroom are positioned around central courtyards and many have bay windows. Each dining area caters for only 10 residents to ensure a more intimate experience.
The complex also features a café, cinema room and adaptable open space, perfect for family gatherings.
At Capecare our residents are treated with dignity, respect and compassion, and supported to live the life they choose. We take the time to listen and understand personal experiences as we partner with our residents to deliver care and services tailored to their needs.
