The Birches was opened in December 1999 and provides permanent and respite accommodation for 45 residents and offers nursing care to the frail, elderly and disabled in our community.
The Birches is part of the Hamilton Base Hospital and a member of The Western District Health Service.
Residents at The Birches enjoy single rooms, with ensuite facilities and are provided with an environment of comfort, dignity and security. The Birches also has a secure unit within the facility; this provides care for dementia specific residents.
Staff provide an holistic approach to the care they deliver and encourage all residents to maintain their independence and special interests, and also to develop new friendships and interests.
