Our intimate household design and boutique common areas offer a community that feels like family, and professional care that lets you rest easy. With only 16 residents to a cottage, Caloola embraces a new model of home-style aged care dedicated to easing the transition for residents and delivering a caring environment that feels like home.
Catering to all levels of care, Caloola’s 80 rooms prioritise home-style comfort and individuality.
The family dining room is perfect for celebrating life’s special moments, while an on-site hair salon offers residents pampering for any occasion. Caloola’s Café provides a community hub for residents, friends and family, and the chapel offers a safe, comfortable space for any residents who desire to connect with their faith.
At Caloola, we know that activities play a huge part in supporting a healthy mind, physical strength, and a sense of belonging in our caring community.
If you like taking it slow, consider a stroll through our peaceful gardens to immerse yourself amongst our native Australian flora. Wagga's iconic Lake Albert is moments down the road, and if you like to stay active, our multipurpose physiotherapy/gym room is the place for you. If you prefer to be pampered, a visit to our hair and beauty salon will do the trick - and for the social butterfly, there is always an activity to join or someone ready for a chat at the Café.
Our family function room is perfect for celebrating life's special moments with your loved ones, and friends and family are always welcome to join and experience our exceptional Dining Meals.
Our Lifestyle Coordinators are dedicated to curating engaging activity calendars which cater to the enjoyment, preferences and abilities of every resident.
Join creative sessions like painting, physical activities like our walking groups, or gardening with other green thumbs. Resident-led activities, such as book clubs and Sunday brunches, happen naturally and often as friendships grow.
At BaptistCare, we recognise the profound impact that food can have on an individual’s health and happiness.
We pride ourselves on our exceptional dining services, going above and beyond to ensure that every resident has a dining experience which celebrates the comfort, happiness, and cultural connections that a well-prepared meal brings.
Care is woven into the entire process, from menu design to plate presentation. We adhere to the highest food safety standards and our dietitians are dedicated to designing menus that are not only nutritionally sound but also cater to the diverse preferences and backgrounds of our residents.
Our chefs build meaningful relationships with residents, fostering an open and trust-based environment for regular feedback. This ensures that each meal is not just a dish on a menu but a part of a positive, fulfilling dining experience.
Residents are encouraged to actively participate in the menu creation process, offering their insights and suggestions at monthly meetings. This collaboration allows us to find the heart of what our residents enjoy and make sure that our menus consistently exceed their expectations.
Care here isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s shaped around you. When you join a BaptistCare aged care home, you’ll have a consistent team of professionals who know your routines and build strong connections with you and your family.
We’ll take time to listen to what matters to you and understand your preferences, so that your care feels truly personal and supports the kind of life you want.
We understand that transitioning into an aged care home can feel overwhelming. Our team of residential aged care specialists are here to help answer any questions you may have and guide you through the journey of accessing care.
We’ve put together a helpful guide that breaks the process down into three simple steps to assist you in understanding the process.
Understanding the fees and charges for residential aged care can feel complex, but we’re here to support you. In Australia, the government subsidises much of the cost of your care and accommodation. However, if you’re in a financial position to contribute, you may be asked to do so.
With BaptistCare, you can be part of an organisation that truly makes a difference. If you are interested in working at BaptistCare Caloola Centre aged care home, feel free to browse our current vacancies.
We look forward to hearing from you!
