Where Comfort Meets Community

At Respect Mareeba Gardens, you’ll find yourself in a warm, culturally rich community where everyone brings a little bit of their own heritage to the table — sometimes quite literally. You might hear Italian being spoken over morning tea, catch the sound of an Italian tune drifting down the hallway, or spot our residents sharing a laugh over espresso after lunch. From movie afternoons and concerts to bingo and hands-on pasta-making sessions, there's always something to enjoy. We also have cultural cafe where residents mingle and come together to talk about the different cultures. With 24-hour support from our caring and experienced staff, you’ll feel safe, valued, and truly at home.

I am safe, and comfortable in my own home. I have lovely people come and help me with home care and garden care and, because I live alone, social company. If I need something concerning my reasons for all the help I get I can ask if my package could pay for it. No, I can’t think of a thing I would change.
