Woombye Care Inc. is a non-profit, non-denominational care facility for the elderly and disabled, located in the town of Woombye, on the Sunshine Coast.The establishment is situated in a serene rainforest setting, with a relaxing, homelike atmosphere and ample facilities. Our goal is to provide security, privacy and comfort to our residents at no cost to their dignity or independence. We believe that “Small is Beautiful” and to that belief all units are built to a domestic size and style. All activities are planned to have a low ecological impact and residents form real relationships with our staff.

History

Woombye Care was founded in 1986 specifically to provide accommodation for fully supported persons in the community who found it hard to access mainstream hostels, such as those with dementia and other psychiatric disorders. In 1996 the Community Care Service was formulated, providing convenient care to those who wish to still live in their own homes. Today we boast a 99% occupancy rate, with happy staff and happier residents. We are continually looking at ways to improve and expand, without negatively impacting our surroundings.
