St. Nicholas Nursing Home

St Nicholas Aged Care is a 72-bed residential facility located at 19 Hampstead Road, Highgate Hill QLD, founded through the vision of The Greek Ladies Philoptochos Society of Saint George in 1959. The home comprises two wings — a 43-bed East Wing (dating from 1981, refurbished 1995) and a 30-bed West Wing (built 1992, expanded 2005) — and primarily serves the Greek and Hellenic community while welcoming all residents. It operates under the guidance of the Greek Orthodox Church of St George, with an audio-visual link enabling residents to participate in Church services from the home. The facility follows the Eden Alternative philosophy of person-centred care, aiming to eliminate loneliness, helplessness, and boredom through meaningful relationships, autonomy, and daily engagement. Accommodation options range from private ensuite single rooms to shared twin and quad rooms, with published RAD prices from $490,000 to $740,000.
