Residential Aged Care

BSL is a not for profit aged care provider that works to find new ways to address disadvantage in Australia and drive lasting social change. We have been caring for disadvantaged older people since the 1960s and have been an accredited aged care provider for over 30 years. We also specialise in housing and care to elderly who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The architecturally designed five storey building opened in March 2020 and boasts spacious individual rooms with ensuite bathrooms, individually controlled heating and cooling, light filled communal areas and strong connections with the local community. Located opposite Darling Gardens, this facility is close to shops, public transport, major hospitals and health services.
