Feel instantly at home with our homestyle aged care
Your story and traditions are a big part of your way of life. Kalyna Care’s European ambience is designed to fit in with your lifestyle and make you and your loved ones feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Kalyna Care is a Ukrainian Community project that welcomes residents from all European countries – including Poland, Slovakia, Germany, Austria, Croatia and Serbia – or anyone who appreciates the European way of life.
It offers homestyle aged care accommodation with a difference.

The Tree of Hope
You’ll see a small silver tree with silver stars as you walk through our foyer. This is our Tree of Hope – and we’d love it if you took a closer look. Each star features a wish or hope from one of our residents, who’d like a volunteer to give them a helping hand.
It could be a trip to the footy or someone to share a cup of tea with on a Sunday afternoon, a walk by the beach or home-cooked meal.
If you can help make one of these wishes come true, get in touch with Michelle (Leisure & Lifestyle Coordinator) or Linda (Person-Centred Care Coordinator) on 9367 8055.
