Aged Care Home's description:

Located at Somerset, Yaraandoo bears the indigenous name for the Southern Cross constellation. Situated high on the hill at Somerset overlooking the ocean and Table Cape. The design has captured the vista of the sea and many of the rooms have been sited to capture the best of the views.
All these spacious rooms are single with an en-suite, with many looking onto the extensive landscaped gardens.
The warm friendly ambience is evidenced by the close involvement with the local community and Yaraandoo is seen as a hub of activity in this seaside town.
From the friendly café in the entrance to the wonderful lounge rooms overlooking Table Cape, this facility says “welcome” to residents and visitors.
The quality of the meals is a feature of this facility, as the smaller size of Yaraandoo allows a home-like menu, with local seasonal vegetables a feature.
We have a comprehensive training and development calendar to support our employees to deliver an excellent service.

Caters for cultural, spiritual or ethical food requirements, Focus on socially and financially disadvantaged people, Specific services for people with CALD backgrounds, Specific services for people with dementia, Specific services for veterans
