Uniting Caroona Yamba is warm and welcoming aged care home in the beautiful beachside heart of the NSW north coast. Our compassionate staff will tailor your care to suit your specific needs. This includes the full-time support you’ll receive from our registered nurses, dementia specialists and carers, and access to any health services you require. Based on the latest aged care research, the ‘household living’ model we follow at Uniting Caroona Yamba will see you live as part of a small and active household. Like any family home, you’ll share an inviting kitchen, dining and living area with the other members of your household. And because having the freedom to make choices is what being at home is all about, you’ll control your own daily routine – from when you eat and sleep, to the meals and activities you enjoy.

I haven’t been there but my stepmum is in your facility and the staff are wonderful when I ring and always tell me how she is and I can speak to her as she never answers her phone. Can’t fault her care as she can be difficult at times. Thank you for looking after her 👍👍👍👍
The attention to detail, care and support provided to the residents at Caroona Yamba is visible from the moment you walk in the door. It feels like home. Great coffee shop, gardens and location.

Are you located in a community 'center' as your site states, or are you in a CENTRE as is the correct way to spell! Thanks for the reply. How odd, I always default to the Assie English! Don't interchange with US speak, at all! Oi oi!
