Welcome to Mount Lofty Heights. Your home away from home. Located in Toowoomba on around five acres, we provide permanent residential and respite care. We offer single rooms with a private en suite and a small patio to enjoy the afternoon sun or a cup of tea with your family. If you listen closely, you'll hear our resident Greyhound Rocky roaming the halls.

We're here to help you continue living life. Your way and doing the things that make you happy.

Dave started dementia about ten years ago. I've looked after him for those years. They have good days and bad days, but he's still got his sense of humor. Every day I look forward to coming and seeing Dave. This is his home now and staff are his family and they're my family as well. I know the food's fabulous cause he's put weight on.

I'm very, very grateful.

My favorite part about this role is just seeing the residents faces, knowing that you can make a difference in their lives. The enjoyment that they get when they see you. It just makes the whole job a hell of a lot better.

The biggest thing that stands out is that Mount Lofty has such great care and we provide very holistic, person centered care and they've just really enjoyed that. It is such a high quality.

We come in and we do our rounds and then we have activities every day. It's such a good feeling seeing all the residents together. We're just like one big happy family.

From people who clean the room right through to the top. They care about Dave, and that's all I want them to do. I didn't feel that I'd abandoned him, which I think some people do. I can visit any time, and it just feels like this is my second home as well. I wouldn't have him anywhere else.
