Caring And Skilled Staff

As well as being fully qualified, our staff are friendly and caring.

It is even a common sight to see the gardener enjoying a conversation with the residents and of course they enjoy the regular interaction too.

And, thanks to the great work of our Auxiliaries, regular visits from school students, the efforts of many volunteers and the generosity of the community, our residents’ lives are truly enriched each and every day.

There’s Always Something Interesting To Do!

Regular outings on the Community Bus, indoor crafts, carpet bowls, bingo, boccé, games and other activites are also part of the busy social calendar, but, for those who prefer the quieter life, there are many peaceful, light-filled nooks for quiet contemplation, or watching the array of passing wildlife.

The onsite gymnasium equipment keeps the more energetic suitably entertained as well.

Beautiful Coastal & Country Environment

The area around Wilsons’ Promontory is well known for tranquility and beauty. The landscape comprises of a mixture of lush pasture, fern gullies and native forests and small townships can be found both on the coast as well as inland.

South Gippsland is also renowned for a country community spirit that is supportive, welcoming and friendly.

Foster and Toora are conveniently located close to the South Gippsland Highway and a comfortable 2.5 hour road trip will take you to the Melbourne CBD.

We’re Getting Better All The Time!

In July 2009, the Federal Government awarded Prom Country Aged Care the largest-ever capital grant for a regional residential aged care service in Australia! The massive $9 million grant will see a new 60-bed ‘ageing in place’ facility built in the bustling township of Foster by December 2012.

We look forward to combining our two facilities and creating even more efficient services for the community. Until then, residents of Banksia Lodge in Foster, and Prom View Lodge in Toora will continue to receive the same outstanding levels of care that Prom Country Aged Care has built its reputation upon.
