About the home

Estia Health Burton is a uniquely designed home, with eight small community residences set in an arc overlooking lawns and backing onto Karuna Park Wetlands.

The home offers a team of clinicians, care, and hospitality staff who look after all aspects of a resident's care, including clinical, social, and overall well-being. It offers dementia and palliative care services, accessible for short-term respite care or longer stays. Daily activities are tailored to residents' interests and hobbies, and our onsite chef and his team prepare meals fresh daily, based on residents' preferences.

Each small community provides spacious lounge and dining areas, access to an onsite hairdressing salon, library, and games room with a pool table. The home overlooks green space, giving residents the chance to tend to plants and vegetables and enjoy shaded outdoor sitting and entertaining areas.
