Overview

Regis Whitfield is an award winning architecturally designed home with balconies capitalising on the best views in the area as it is surrounded by lush green mountains ranges such as Mount Whitfield that cradle the Botanical Gardens. The home is a short 10 minutes’ drive to the International Airport and Cairns City Centre.

A bus stop outside the home provides convenient access to shops, café precinct area in Edge Hill, bowls club and the Cairns Botanic Gardens.

Upon entering our home, you are embraced with a generous open plan Plaza connecting you with an aged care community like no other. We have our Plaza Café filled with delicious cakes, sandwiches and barista made coffee open 7 days a week for the residents, families and the broader community to enjoy. A fully equipped hairdressing salon allows you to have all your beautification services at your fingertips. Take advantage of the number of outdoor areas; play a game of pool on our competition size billiard table, try your hand at bocce on our undercover green or watch a movie outdoors relaxing in our Breezeway Movie Theatre. Follow the winding pathways through our National Award winning sensory and Market Gardens, resting along the way with strategically placed meeting tables and chairs, or utilise the comfortable BBQ areas for groups of residents and friends to enjoy. Regis Whitfield has been described by many as a ‘City within a City’.

Regis Whitfield has a large entertainment hall containing large screens with movable downlights and sound system for all the technological needs to assist with state-of-the-art activities and is also purposefully fitted with hearing loops to aid in all ranges of hearing disabilities. The community hall provides a space for multiple entertainers and community groups who join us weekly, lots of fun and social activities for our residents and also makes a great spot to enjoy their various happy hours. The community Hall hosts our spectacular staff concerts, fetes and markets for residents, families, staff and the broader community.

Our home offers 129 single rooms, all with an en suite and caters for a range of aged care needs. Regis Whitfield boasts an on-site hairdresser, café, library with computer area, chapel, day therapy centre and award-winning landscaped gardens and Wi-Fi.
