Aged Care Home's description:

At Whiddon Kelso, we offer you a residential care service that reflects and respects your sense of independence and enjoyment.

You’ll find Whiddon Kelso at the end of a quiet street in a peaceful suburb of Bathurst, in Central West NSW. We have plenty of onsite parking and we are co-located with our independent living village and community care centre for many shared benefits.

Our home has beautiful landscaped gardens and outdoor areas for our residents to enjoy, spread across two wings – our traditional wing with 51 fully-furnished spacious single rooms with ensuites – and our newly-opened modern wing which has been architecturally designed and offers 60 private rooms with ensuites.

Both wings connect in the garden behind the café, and residents share all the common areas to really feel at home. Our place is your place, so we encourage you to bring familiar items to personalise your new home.
