Welcome to The Orchards, a suitably leafy setting in Doncaster East, surrounded by parklands and resplendent natural beauty.
Perched on Andersons Creek Road, we offer gorgeous views of the surrounding areas after a recent expansion and transformation. There’s plenty to gaze out upon from our state-of-the-art abode.
Currawong Bush Park is not far, filled with singing native birds and the golden hues of Wattle Trees or Stringybark Eucalypts. Around the corner you’ll find The Pines shopping centre, with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants to explore. On site, you’ll find everything you need to live well your way, with a warm community built on a spirit of belonging and experienced team members supporting your story, needs and preferences.
The Orchards Community is also co-located with Baptcare’s well-renowned and highly regarded The Orchards Retirement Living apartments and villas.
Living well together
We’re a thriving community at The Orchards
Here at The Orchards, we know that care is only exceptional when it’s personal. That’s why we listen to you and your family. We take the time to understand the things that bring you joy, so we can support you to live each day independently with meaning and purpose.
You’ll have access to the exceptional quality care you need, along with personalised support that’s unique to you. Everyone’s different and everyone’s individuality is celebrated and respected. That’s what makes us such a strong, close-knit community. We hope you’ll feel it when you join us to visit our thriving home. You’ll also see a bustling social calendar where everyone’s welcome, spanning everything from exercise and walking groups, to meditation and prayer groups, to gardening and board games, to multicultural days or sharing a drink over happy hour. We can’t wait to welcome you!
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:
- Lots of our residents have a strong creative streak, so we hold frequent art classes to support their passions: from illustration to painting and other disciplines. We also run exhibitions of the work for other residents!
- Cultural groups where you’re encouraged to speak with others in your language and celebrate your culture: we have lots of proud Iranian and Chinese residents.
- Happy hours are always popular and a great way to connect and catch up.
- We recently helped a resident to produce their own autobiography and create a book to celebrate their proudest life moments.
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.
