Archer Care
Homes
Always Welcome
Personalised Care & Community Life
Archer offers a homely setting, giving as much choice for daily living as possible.
The ‘resident-centred’ model of care aims to personalise care so you can enjoy life in your new home. An increasing number of activities are resident-run, and resident and staff forums ensure a homely environment.
Families and friends are welcome to join residents for meals and events. Special events occur throughout the year, such as Easter, ANZAC, Christmas services, and Mid-Winter’s celebrations. Archer’s Chaplains are also available for pastoral friendship and encouragement.
