Eldercare Kirkholme was originally established as the Goodwood Dunbar Presbyterian Home for the Aged in 1965. When the Home incorporated with Eldercare, the name Dunbar was changed to Kirkholme which means "Church Home". In 1995, Eldercare Kirkholme was partly renovated and continues to be enhanced and upgraded.

Lifestyle

In addition to our comprehensive clinical care program, we have an extensive lifestyle program which includes a tailor-made program for our memory support unit with one-on-one visits. Themed activities are offered, as well as seasonal events, and we cater to those with specific interests such as the Men’s Group.

Our chaplain is on site daily to provide spiritual and emotional support and local Churches conduct services at Kirkholme throughout the year.

Kirkholme has an established volunteer group who support the professional team to optimise quality of life for our residents. Through our intergenerational program, local primary school students visit to perform recitals and share activities with residents.
