St Ives Botanica Care Community

Opal HealthCare is one of the most reputable providers of residential aged care in Australia. Our focus is on providing a friendly and inviting atmosphere for all our residents, their families and our neighbours.

Our vision is to create a Care Community in St Ives that enables our residents to live with dignity and purpose, while receiving high quality care delivered by capable and compassionate team members.

St Ives has a rich history and is well known for its strong sense of community, beautiful homes and gardens, and local bushland areas.

Our goal is to provide exceptional care in high quality buildings that respond to, and respect, the local natural and built environment. We have selected St Ives due to the need for high quality care for local people who want to continue living locally. As we all age, it is also vital to remain connected with local places and services, as well as our family and friends.

That’s why we have prepared early concept designs to show how we have carefully considered the St Ives community and landscape. We want to provide care for local people in a subtle, welcoming environment that blends with the gardens and natural bushland that are unique to this local area.

Frequently asked questions

  • We have over 40 years of experience in providing the best care for our residents. Today, we have 7,000 residents in our care and more than 10,000 team members. We are committed to making life as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
