Both Lodges
Here at both lodges, we encourage independence and privacy. Visitors are requested to respect this privacy of our residents in their home and, therefore, tours are not permitted.
Family and friends are encouraged to visit and utilize the many lounges and outside areas available to sit and enjoy refreshments and have a chat in pleasant surroundings.
Karri and Tuart Lodges continually strive to achieve RAAFA’s Vision as “Provider of Choice for residents, staff and the community”. Our Mission and Philosophy is to “Provide high quality care and accommodation fostering dignity through independence, safety and friendship.”
