About this home

Written by AI from our facts

The Palms Nursing Home is in Kirrawee, NSW, and has 72 places. It is operated by Ibis Care, a private company, and families should ask the operator for prices.

What this is based on

An AI model wrote these sentences from facts in the government's service list. When the model wrote them, a program checked that each sentence used only those facts, with no prices and no opinions. Each time this page is shown, every number in them, and whether they say the operator publishes room prices, is checked again against this page, and a sentence that no longer matches is left out.

  • Sentence 1 uses: home name, suburb, state, places
  • Sentence 2 uses: operator, type of organisation (ABN register), whether room prices are published

What the photos show

Read by two AI models that had to agree

Based on the operator's photos. Two AI models looked at them separately and we show only what both saw. A feature not listed here may simply not be in the photos: ask the home.

Room prices

Ask the operator for prices

Questions to ask on your visit

The Palms Nursing Home, 454 President Avenue, Kirrawee NSW 2232

The 15 questions families ask most before choosing a home. We have filled in 3 from what we hold; the rest only the home can answer.

Daily life

  1. What does a typical day look like here? Can we see this month's activity calendar, and do most residents join in?

    Families most want to know how their parent will spend the day, and whether activities really happen. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

  2. Can we see this week's menu and come for a meal? How are soft diets, diabetes and cultural or religious diets handled?

    Food is the most common daily complaint; a menu and a meal tell you more than a brochure. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  3. Do any carers on the floor speak her language?

    People with dementia often return to their first language. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

Care and staff

  1. How many carers and registered nurses are on each shift, day, night and weekend? Is a registered nurse on site at all times?

    Staffing numbers are not published home by home. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  2. How many staff are permanent, and how often are agency staff used? Will the same carers look after her?

    Families say continuity of carers matters more than the building. No public source has these figures. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  3. Who is our main contact, and how quickly will you tell us after a fall, an illness or a change in her care?

    Agree this before she moves in. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

  4. Do you care for people with advanced dementia, including changed behaviour? Is there a secure area, and can we see it?

    What we found Cares for people living with dementia; no separate unit mentioned. Ask whether that includes the stage she is at. The operator's page for this home, 8 Nov 2026 Operator's page may be out of date

  5. Does a GP visit regularly? Can she keep her own GP, and who covers nights and weekends?

    Doctors' visits vary widely between homes. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

Money

  1. What does the room we want cost, as a lump sum or a daily payment?

    Each room has one price you can pay either way. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist

  2. What will she pay each day in total, with the basic daily fee and the means-tested fees?

    The room price is only part of the bill. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist

  3. Do you charge a higher everyday living fee or for extras such as Wi-Fi, outings or hairdressing? What does it include, and can she say no?

    The higher everyday living fee is optional, can only be agreed after moving in, and can be cancelled. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist

Moving in

  1. Is a room free now? How long is the wait, and can she stay on your list if she takes a place elsewhere first?

    No public list shows vacancies as they change. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

Visiting

  1. What are the visiting hours? Can we come early or stay late, bring children or a pet, and what happens to visits during an outbreak?

    Visiting is how families keep in touch with daily care; rules changed sharply during COVID-19. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist

  2. How will we get there? Is there public transport nearby, and is visitor parking free?

    What we found Train station (Kirrawee Station) 2 minutes' walk. About 49 minutes from Sydney Town Hall by public transport on a weekday morning, 54 on a Sunday. Transport for NSW timetable (GTFS), 10 Nov 2026
