This is my first experience with an aged care facility, with my mother entering The Ashley for respite care. From my first phone enquiry, I was given clear information and a quick follow up email setting out precise details. From the moment I visited The Ashley, all of the staff were friendly to me, but more importantly I observed their caring nature to all of the residents. This gives the Ashley such a homely atmosphere.

Dining with choice and quality
Every mealtime is an occasion at our McKenzie communities. Committed to providing choice and variety, our meals are made in-house by dedicated and trained staff, supporting local suppliers and growers to provide the very best dining experience for every resident.
Our seasonal menus are designed in consultation with industry leading dietitians, and with the feedback and input from our residents. We ensure there is choice and variety at each meal service. We also cater for special dietary and cultural needs where appropriate.
Quality food and dining play a large role in our McKenzie homes, and we include fun food experiences within our lifestyle program. Our Lifestyle team coordinate many activities which include happy hour, cultural days, BBQs, and many more where food is a central part to these fun and social occasions.
Our independent dietitians audit is available for download below, as well as our current seasonal menu.
The team have shown a commitment and dedication to our mothers needs and have been very professional. A credit to you and the management team. This respite admission has also assisted us as a family, should mum need to be placed permanently in the near future, then Ashley is where she will go.
