Aged Care … Available for all
You or your family members do not have to be in any way connected to Freemasonry to qualify for admission to one of our Villages. All our facilities around NSW and the ACT are available to any person regardless of religion, ethnic or racial origins.
We serve the community purely to provide care to those who need it. Many of our residents have been admitted without having to pay entry fees, because they or their families were financially unable to do so. Where people can afford to pay for their self-care unit, they will find that our entry fees are generally lower than those of other retirement villages.
More than 3000 residents live in the retirement villages and aged care facilities owned and operated by the Royal Freemasons’ Benevolent Institution. All receive a superior standard of personal care in attractive, secure and comfortable surroundings.
All RFBI Villages and facilities are fully accredited by the Department of Health and Ageing.
RFBI villages are especially well regarded for the high standard of friendly attention provided by our carefully selected staff in each location.
Experienced management ensures that no effort or cost is spared to ensure the safety of our residents and that personalised attention to the needs of each resident is always available. Careful maintenance of our facilities is a feature of how RFBI villages are managed.
High emphasis is given to the variety, quality and nutritional value of the menus provided by our villages.
