Dudley Foord House is located in the modern residential area of The Ponds, adjacent to Anglicare’s retirement living village. Since opening in 2017, Dudley Foord House has been welcomed into the local community and is home to 104 residents. It offers residents a range of recreational, social and health services. The innovative building design incorporates a ‘village-feel Main Street’, with shopfronts for services including a hairdresser and café
Person-centred care is at the forefront of this home’s design with private en suite bathrooms and care within dedicated groups. The courtyards contain chicken pens, bird houses and garden beds for residents to enjoy.
Your care experience at Anglicare is designed to be as unique as you are. Your independence, routines, and preferences matter, and your story shapes the care and support you receive. We’re here to walk alongside you, ensuring your care is truly personal to you.
