"Thankyou for considering St Catherines Hostel. We recognise that the decision to move to an aged care facility is a major lifestyle decision which can generate a great deal of stress for the individual and family. At St Catherines we are committed to minimising the anxiety associated with this by providing an homely environment where you can enjoy the later years of life in comfort and surrounded by people who are committed to providing warmth and care.
