Our Vision

To be the premier provider of quality residences, care and lifestyle services. We strive for exceptional wellbeing for our residents, physical and emotional security and excellence in both our built environment and our service.

Lansdowne Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour in Neutral Bay on Sydney’s lower North Shore, sets a new standard in residential aged care.

With the luxury and warmth of a stately home, Lansdowne Gardens will cater to your loved one’s lifestyle, clinical and care needs.

This multi award winning architecturally designed residence incorporates a state of the art aged care residence within three significant heritage buildings on Manns Avenue and a modern boutique residence on Wycombe Road, at Neutral Bay. The local community is able to enjoy the reinvigorated buildings from the outside whilst our residents enjoy a level of comfort and style never before seen in residential aged care.

Cranbrook Care is the owner and manager of Lansdowne Gardens. We recognise the need for high quality aged care in Australia and as a result we strive for exceptional wellbeing for our residents, physical and emotional security and excellence in both our built environment and staff service.
