The Forrest Centre

The Forrest Centre is a not-for-profit aged care organisation established in 1985, serving Wagga Wagga and the broader Riverina region of NSW. It operates two residential aged care facilities — Mary Potter Nursing Home and Loreto Home of Compassion — alongside a dedicated hospice and at-home aged care packages. As a registered charity, it is independent of corporate pressures and focuses on each resident's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. At-home care services extend across Wagga Wagga, Griffith, Leeton, Narrandera, and Tumbarumba. The organisation also runs a free Aged Care Solutions advisory service to help families navigate the aged care system.
