You’re
Welcome
Step into an RSL LifeCare community
and you can’t help but feel at home.
We seek to make your experience warm
and inviting, from our homelike exterior
architecture, to our comfortable community
areas and bedrooms to our exceptional
outdoor gardens and landscaping. Look
around and you’ll notice points of interest
throughout the residence, and you may
even spot some of our friendly pets. And of
course, there are always the friendly smiling
faces of our staff to ensure that each day
spent here is a welcome one.
RSL LifeCare has been caring for and
serving seniors since 1911. Founders
William Wood and Stephen Stack started
with a simple vision — to look after and
give the best to war veterans who needed
assistance. Today, we are open to all
Australians and are one of the most
experienced and innovative providers of
senior living services in the world.
Life is what you make it. At RSL LifeCare,
we believe no two people are alike and we
understand that the services each senior
requires are never exactly the same. We
call this our resident-centered approach to
living. It begins with the senior and his or
her needs. It results in choices—choices
about day-to-day living, service and care
options. In this way, we help maintain the
independence and dignity of our residents
and provide the best possible lifestyle and
service options.
“ I feel secure here and know I
made the right decision being
with people who care.”

Fromelles Manor is a living community for 66
seniors who seek residential care (high care or
low care). There is around-the-clock presence
and influence of nurses and care assistants.
Fromelles Manor is designed for people who
need medical/rehabilitative and restorative care.
The living spaces include wide halls, handrails
and nurse centres. Residents live in single rooms
with ensuites, and share community rooms for
planned daily activities, socials and dining. Meals
are prepared on individual dietary needs.
The type and amount of care a person receives
is dependent on what is needed to maintain his
or her ‘normal’ lifestyle and includes assistance
with basic activities of daily living (eating,
bathing and grooming, toilet help, dressing,
transport, etc) in which a resident may require
help or supervision. Skilled Care is provided
for those who need medical or nursing care or
rehabilitative services for the rehabilitation of
injured, disabled or sick persons.
All our residential aged care services provide
assistance with daily activities. Specialist
dementia care accommodation gives residents
the best quality life in a safe and supportive
environment. A personalised activities program
is also available to all residents.
Our History
Lifestyle villages for the not-so-retiring and
residential care (nursing homes) situated at:
RSL LifeCare is a charitable organisation
that was formed in 1911 to provide care
and service to war veterans. Services were
initially provided at Bare Island, Botany
Bay, until moving to Narrabeen in 1939.
From small beginnings providing care and
service to just a handful of war veterans,
the organisation has grown to be one of the
largest senior living services in Australia.
Caring for 5,000 people across Independent
Living, Community Care, Assisted Living,
Dementia and Nursing Home, we have
developed an extensive range of services that
fosters independence and provides social,
clinical, emotional and spiritual support.
Despite our growth and the passage of time,
RSL LifeCare remains true to its original aim
and mission – to provide a home of peace and
security to senior Australians.
