Home Care Townsville

Why consider aged care in Townsville

Townsville is a regional city serving its own residents as well as centres as far afield as Tully and Ingham to the north, Ayr and Bowen to the south, Charters Towers and Basalt further inland, and communities on Magnetic and Palm Islands. Wildlife and water activities are all nearby, and Townsville also offers a burgeoning range of shopping, dining, arts and historical options. The climate is tropical, though due to its geographical orientation Townsville has less rainfall than much of the Australian tropics. Aged care and nursing homes are found throughout, supported by facilities of the Townsville Health Service District. This includes Health Service Centres on the islands, with hospitals in Ayr, Charters Towers, Ingham, Tully – and a major hospital with renovated operating facilities in Townsville itself.
