TriCare Ltd

Information from TriCare: A recognised leader in aged care in Australia, TriCare has earned a solid reputation for ownership, development and management of facilities throughout south-east Queensland. Established for more than 35 years, TriCare is a name recognised by most Queenslanders as a soundly based, quality-driven provider of excellence in aged care facilities and services. A privately owned company with a reputable track record, TriCare employs more than 1600 professional staff dedicated to providing the highest standard of service to the residents of its 23 facilities.

TriCare's philosophy for our retirement villages is that they should be much more that just a real estate development – they are communities that have been specifically designed to meet our residents' needs. While the decision to move may often take a considerable period of time, once residents make the move the comment heard most often is, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

The beauty of a village lifestyle is the easy access our residents have to friendship and social opportunities – retirement communities rekindle the sense of community spirit, which often tends to be lost in modern neighbourhoods. While a sense of community prevails, residents retain their privacy and independence – a real sense of stability and certainty.

Each of our villages has its own unique atmosphere, not only does village living allow you more time to pursue the things you like to do, it offers the opportunities to explore new interests.

TriCare recognises that a resident's needs may change over time, gradually or suddenly, temporarily or for the longer term. Which is why a range of flexible service options is available and can be readily adapted to each individual's needs.

TriCare Nursing Centres and Hostels are resident focused and offer a pleasant “home like” atmosphere allowing opportunities for each individual to enjoy the maximum level of independence while receiving the optimum level of care.

TriCare is a name synonymous with excellence.
