We have an experienced Clinical Nurse Leader who, with 2 other R/Ns and 2 E/Ns, works with a wonderful team of caregivers (buddies) to support all residents and their families.

We provide activities 7 days a week with an Activities Coordinator overseeing a team of DTs and dedicated activity staff.

A large number of ancillary staff support the team and residents in all aspects of living and working at Beattie Home and Papakainga Homestead.

Most staff are of long work history with Beattie Home, one big family!

With encouragement we especially welcome school leavers to commence their careers in the Aged Care sector.
