Forrest Community Services

The Forrest Centre is a not-for-profit, registered charity providing residential aged care, at-home care, and specialist hospice services across Wagga Wagga and the broader Riverina region of NSW. Established in 1985, it operates two residential facilities — Mary Potter Nursing Home and Loreto Home of Compassion — both located in Wagga Wagga. The organisation takes a holistic approach, addressing each person's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and offers an Aged Care Solutions advisory service to help families navigate the aged care system. At-home care services extend across Wagga Wagga, Griffith, Leeton, Narrandera, and Tumbarumba. As a charity independent of corporate ownership, all operations are focused on resident wellbeing and community care rather than profit.
