St Andrew's George's Cottages

St Andrew's is a community-based, not-for-profit aged care organisation headquartered at 59 Bentinck Street, Ballina, NSW, offering residential aged care, retirement living, dementia care, and palliative care. The organisation is governed by a community board and follows a person-centred philosophy that prioritises each resident's dignity, independence, and individuality. A standout feature is the Physio Active program — a physiotherapy-led Reablement and Wellness Program with a dedicated studio for supervised strength, balance, and mobility training. A volunteer therapy dog named Honey visits residents three times a week, providing emotional connection particularly for those living with dementia. Fee information including a fee calculator is available on the website, with transparency about the components of accommodation and care costs.
