Your day – your way
While the surroundings at Liston Heights are beautiful, its great care that Liston Heights is known for. Resident’s wishes come first, with care built around the way they prefer their day to be – and that can change from day to day. That’s why we say “your day – your way.”
At Liston Heights, our residents will always find something to do – whether it’s getting involved in our activities programme or choosing to enjoy their own company in their large bedrooms, with the convenience of ensuites and kitchenettes.
General Manager Claire Jordan and her team like to think of their care as “providing support, so that you can still be you.” To find out more, phone Claire on (07) 378 2666.
