This aged care facility is a lovely older style home. It only houses 58 residents so it is not a very large place. What is nice is the relaxed family cosy atmosphere. It is not cold and clinical like some places I have seen. At present I am researching places for my step-father. The main drawback of The Armitage is that they do not allow residents to have their own car. My step-father still drives so this was a deal breaker for him. You also cannot bring a motorised wheel chair and as he has trouble walking and weak arms this was also a problem. If it were not for these two issues he would have liked to move in as he felt it was like an old English B & B.
