The Organisation

Fairway Bayside Aged Care was established in 1995 as a 30-bed not-for-profit community home, offering the highest quality clinical care and an innovative commitment to overall resident wellbeing.

Since that time Fairway residents were able to remain in the community in which they had lived, worked and raised families, with the extension to a 62- bed capacity. A further 3 beds were added in 2017-2018, and services were additionally expanded to include an innovative dementia living program.

Fairway is now well progressed with the construction phase of a $20M expansion, which will see an additional 20 residents able to call Fairway home in August this year taking the total number of rooms/beds to 85.
