We certainly can. We are here to provide support, assistance and guidance as you navigate the aged care system and to take away that sense of overwhelm. You can contact us here for further assistance anytime.

Ageing is a part of life for all of us, but leaving one’s home and entering aged care isn’t an easy decision. We understand it can be a daunting experience for the individual concerned and the family members who love them. But it is also a wonderfully positive experience that will enhance your quality of life and give you new energy and purpose.

We are committed to helping you overcome the fear, uncertainty and overwhelm of moving into aged care by providing freedom of choice and access to the highest quality care options available.

We sure can. At ECA we have various entry points and options available. Now is definitely the time to do some planning around choice. By making your decision earlier, rather than later, you have choice and control over how your senior years will look. 

Many people are surprised to know that moving into an aged care community can actually enhance their quality of life, giving them new energy and purpose. There are wonderful opportunities for social connections and companionship, and you’ll be free to get out and socialise with friends and family whenever you choose, as well as having friends and family visit you. 

Our independent living units at Cunningham Downs are the perfect entry point at this stage. You will find all you need to know here.

We absolutely can. All residents in our independent living units continue to enjoy full autonomy and freedom. They have their own garden, can entertain visitors, visit the shops and stay with family whenever they please – the only difference is that they are living in a safe and secure environment where everyone is looking out for one another.

It is absolutely normal. And we are here to provide support, assistance and guidance to you and your family as you explore your choices. Moving into an aged care community can be a wonderfully positive experience. Our residents actually experience greater independence, and gain a renewed sense of purpose in life when they live with us, through new interests, friendships, entertainment and activities.

We provide affordable, quality, modern aged care accommodation options that cater for everyone, giving our senior community members the freedom to choose the level of care they need and are comfortable with. 

Our service model is unique in that our residents don’t need to move real estate if their care needs change. When they downsize from their family home and make the move to ECA, that’s the only move they’ll have to make. We deliver everything they need through our home care service to the accommodation level they choose. Our residents are cared for by local people who know and respect them, and are able to maintain a strong connection to family, friends and loved ones.
