Garrawarra Centre

Garrawarra is accredited as a residential aged care facility and has a capacity of 120 beds.

Located in Waterfall, approximately 50 kilometres south of Sydney and 30 kilometres north of Wollongong, in a natural bush setting, the Centre is one of the few purpose-built, dementia specific facilities in New South Wales.

Holistic and high level care is provided for people with a primary diagnosis of dementia who exhibit challenging behaviours and require a safe and secure environment. Residents may remain with us on either a permanent or respite basis.

Since 2000, residents have been housed in one of four purpose-built cottages. Each cottage has 20 bedrooms, 10 single and 10 double, and can house a total of 30 residents, male and female. The living areas are comfortable comprising two lounge rooms, two dining rooms, two courtyards and two kitchenettes with a central garden connecting the wings of the cottages.

We endeavour to maintain a home-like appearance and atmosphere where residents are free to move around as they wish. Security of cottages is maintained by a discreet electronic locking system, which is activated by a keypad.
