Baptcare Abbey Gardens is nestled on the western side of Warragul, with the rolling greens of Strachan Park and a babbling stream running just behind our location: it’s perfect for a peaceful afternoon stroll.
A happy, welcoming and energetic community, you’ll find us midway up the gentle hill of Tarwin Street, offering picturesque views out over Warragul. We’re just a short drive or bus ride to the town centre, with restaurants, cafes and shopping strips aplenty.
Or if you prefer to relax and take in your immediate surroundings, Western Park Recreation Reserve is just across the road. There, you’ll find playgrounds for the grandkids and the home ground of the Warragul Football and Netball Club, if you like the action of game day!
Living well together
We’re a thriving community here at Abbey Gardens
Everyone is welcome at Abbey Gardens, and we know that everyone is different. That’s why our approach to care is based on your personal story and preferences. What is meaningful to you? What does a good day look like? Whatever the answer, we’re here to make it happen.
In addition to high quality care and support, we have a bustling calendar of social events posted up each week. Our halls are often ringing with the sound of visiting grandchildren laughing and playing, or scheduled entertainers. Or, there’s plenty of support if you prefer to relax and take things at your own pace. Whatever living well means to you, we’re here to fill your day with fun, meaning and purpose. We hold regular meetings to listen to your feedback and tailor activities and events based on the things you love.
Live well, your way
Living well looks different for everybody. Whatever you love to do—whatever makes your day and makes life meaningful—we’re here to make it happen.
Some of the hobbies and activities we support residents with include:
- Trips to nearby Neerim South for ice cream from local producers. With fond memories of farming life, many residents love to reminisce and take a moment to reflect on their roots in the area.
- Some residents love the ballet, so we organise trips to West Gippsland Arts Centre for concerts and events.
- A close-knit group of ladies run their own recurring social night, supported by volunteers. It’s always decorated beautifully, featuring after-hours ballet and ballroom dancing performances.
What's important to you?
These are some examples, but living well looks different for every person. It’s all about taking the time to understand your preferences, hobbies and passions. We’d love to chat through your favourite things to do when you visit us for a tour.
