Hammond Care
HammondCare is an independent Christian charity specialising in aged care and dementia care, palliative care, pain, rehabilitation, older persons' mental health and younger onset dementia.
Regarded as one of Australia’s most innovative health and aged care providers, HammondCare offers hospital care, residential care, dementia advisory services, and community support services across Australia and in the United Kingdom.
HammondCare’s origins go back to 1932 when Anglican Archdeacon R B S Hammond provided homes for inner-city families in Sydney facing eviction during the Depression. He used his own superannuation funds to finance and create a 'rent to purchase' scheme in the area now known as Hammondville near Liverpool.
HammondCare continues to pursue this mission today and our passion is improving quality of life for people in need. We serve people with complex health or aged care needs, regardless of their circumstances.
