Overview

Gumleigh Gardens Hostel is an architect-designed residential aged-care centre with 15 dementia specific rooms and 28 single ensuite rooms and one double room, suitable for couples.

The new Hostel was purpose built in 2013 with courtyard gardens, water features and lovely walkways. The interior of the Hostel is furnished with modern design furnishings and fittings and there are both communal and smaller lounge areas including 6 outdoor sitting areas for residents and visitors.

Featuring flat screen televisions, library facilities, an on-site chapel with weekly services, the addition of the Hostel to the adjoining Gumleigh Gardens Village means that those who may require assisted care services can remain close and stay in touch with the community they have grown close to.

Gumleigh Gardens Aged Care Hostel is part of the Murray River Region of the United Protestant Association of New South Wales.
