Southport Nursing Centre is a 60 bed facility situated beside the beautiful winding Lotus Creek with its quiet banks of native bush. The new facility is light and airy, painted in tropical colours and includes a beautiful, fully enclosed central courtyard shaded in "sea blue" sails. The building was renovated internally and fully refurbished at a cost of $2 million to be fully compliant with Commonwealth New Building standards and is fully accredited.

Southport also provides an 11 bed dementia specific secure unit - 'Acacia'. It boasts a life style and recreation program that is based on everyday home life - promoting a calm comforting settled environment for our Gold Coast residents.
