Basic information
Visitors as usual (but not if you're unwell or recently returned from overseas)
Care at Metlifecare is deeply personal and always personalised. We support every resident to live a fulfilling life in a safe and welcoming setting that feels like home where you can continue doing the things you love. We take time to get to know you, so we can better support and care for you.

Our beautifully designed Care suites are available under an Occupational Right Agreement (ORA). Care suites offers a private ensuite, kitchenette with bar fridge and tea making facilities, giving you the freedom to make your cup of tea, just the way you like it.

Your friends and family will always be welcome to spend time with you, and they can join in for meals and celebrations as well as pop in for a cup of tea and chat.

With the comfort and security of 24/7 excellent clinical care and an activity calendar with a great variety from social activities to dining experiences and hobbies, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to connect with like-minded souls who share your passions.

The need for care can be unpredictable, making it hard to always guarantee availability, but we encourage you to get in touch - we are here to listen and here to help. People come first, always. That’s our Care Promise.
