Proserpine Nursing Home provides accommodation, care and support for people who can no longer live at home. As we age, the daily tasks of living can become more difficult. We are a fully-accredited aged care facility and our team are very passionate and caring. Some Staff have been with us from the moment we opened our door almost 30 years ago.
We understand our community and their needs. This means allowing you to live in a way that is meaningful to you, where you feel secure and respected, where you can have private, relaxing moments as well as opportunities to be as active as you choose, socialise and build connections with other residents.

Quality of Care
At Proserpine Nursing Home we believe it’s important that aged care services provided are appropriate, accessible and sensitive to the diverse individual needs of older Australians.

Types of Care
Ageing in Place
Ageing in Place allows you to remain in the same facility and, in most cases, the same room – as your care needs increase. Your individualised care plan is regularly updated to reflect your unique requirements.
Dementia Care
Dementia Care provides targeted services, specialised staff and facilities to support residents with early to advanced stages of dementia.
Palliative Care
Palliative Care offers sensitive support to residents nearing the end of their life. Our specialist staff provide comfort and quality of life for residents, family and friends.
Respite Care
Respite Care provides short-term care and support for people whose carers are unable to meet usual care arrangements or who need an extra level of temporary support.
Consumer Directed Care
Consumer Directed Care (CDC) is a model of service delivery designed to give more choice and flexibility to consumers. Consumers who receive care will have more control over the types of care and services they access and the delivery of those services, including who delivers the services and when.
Proserpine Nursing Home boasts a welcoming administration, excellent floor management with inviting rooms, good meals and wonderfully caring nursing staff - indeed a home away from home.
Kay Pini
I have worked in many homes over 35 years and I must say this is the best of the lot. We have everything we need to give the care and and love to our residents staff and management are terrific couldn’t ask for a nicer place to work. I would have no hesitation if it came down to having to put my family or myself in PNH.
